This is rehased info that we alread know, new info, and some scouring the internet for hours, here's the generic findings that M:S might have.

First, the Mission:Space experence (read that, not ride, but pavilion) will feature 3 parts. The first will be the main and the greatest, the attraction. This will be huge. The pods will be front loading (like the Horizons vehicles) and the hatch will close down onto you. There will be four screens infront of you. As you blas off, each one of you will be given a taks to complete. One persons the captain, the other the engineer, and so fort and so on. You'll complete the task and your voyage will determine your ending. Sounds fun.

The second will be the post show. This area will be the huge interactive zone that is currenlty previewed in Innoventions (WDW & DL). There will be more to do (naturaly) and there will be lots of fun on-hand exhibits, but unlike WoL, this place will be upgradeable easaly.

The third is the chicken area. This is imbetween the post show and the attraction. This is where all the people who don't measure up go. They will have a few options, very much like the Image Works. One is a game that, if rumors are correct, will be a huge hit. Expect the game to work very much like the ride, only without the motion (ie, they must complete objectives as engineer, pilot, etc). There will be a kids area too, with slides, tubes, and other things themed as bays, cargo containers, and other pieces of spaceships lying around.

The other interesing thing is that the que might be very kid friendly, meaning that you'll see puzzles and such, along with those Compaq iPaq's that they were testing at Test Track (I got to use one of those, and they are very cool and very intersting.)

And some bad news now. It seems like Marty Skylar (Head of WDI) has said that, unfortuantly, the opening of Mission:Space won't be ANNOUNCED untill this spring. That's ok, since Test Track's opening was announced only 4 months before opening.
