The Apollo 50th Gala, benefitting the Aldrin Family’s ShareSpace Foundation and Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, will bring together astronauts, space luminaries, business leaders and celebrities under the historic Saturn V rocket at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

The Apollo 50th Gala is part of the official week-long series of celebrations honouring the legacy of the Apollo program, today’s innovations in space exploration and tomorrow’s explorers.
