Talking Dave Lavery in the news!

I just saw this and was rather surprised. I swore, but the moderator then came and washed my mouth out with soap.

Dave is in the news about the new Mission:Space attraction at Epcot!



Also, here is the article text and links (make sure to check out the M:S video!!!)

I think this calls for a hell yeah. Go Dave!

If you ask me, this is just furthering the cause to have Nats at Epcot next season. It's kinda like Dave is endorsing having Nats there. Finally,

It's kick-(some large body part that I sit on)!!! I rode it again this week at the press unveiling, and had a lot of fun.

Of course, I kind of have to say that. I, and several other folks on the NASA Mars team, have been consulting with Disney for nearly three years on Mission:Space. We have been providing the attraction designers with a lot of technical and scientific background information, video and photo images, technical validation, etc.

The ride gives you a four-minute (i.e. highly compressed) simulation of a space flight from Earth to Mars. Without giving away the whole story line, I can tell you that you get a LOT of sensory input during the experience. When you enter the ride, you get multiple warnings that persons that are sensitive to motion sickness should not ride. PAY ATTENTION TO THE WARNINGS! (NASA's version isn't called the "Vomit Comet" for nothing! ) Big clue: look at the object in the background of the picture.

So, umm *shuffles feet* . .. y'know any Imagineers looking for an intern? There's nothing I love more than what the folks at Walt Disney Imagineering do.

I've heard nothing but amazing things about the ride -- from People Who Know (tm) and people who don't. I'm really excited to see it be successful, and knowing that I've met the folks who had a hand in it makes it that much better.

Good job (That stuff you do with NASA is kinda cool, too.)

According to the information that Disney provided in the press kits during the preview last week, the "soft opening" of Mission: Space is scheduled for early August. That is when they will let the public guests at EPCOT go on the ride. The big formal opening, with the big public unveiling, etc, is scheduled for early October. Until then, there will be periodic "special preview" opportunities for park guests to get on the ride, if they just happen to be in the area at the right times (which will probably not be advertised in advance).

Yep.

Recently, the ride's been opening at approximately 4 pm each evening to guests. Two centrifuges are operating while the other two are still being tested, presumably.

The officially "soft opening" was announced as August 13.

Actually, quoting the specific soft opening date is about as useful as trying to accurately predict the exact launch date of a Mars rover mission... It has already changed multiple times, and it will probably change again before it actually opens (anyone remember how many times the opening of Test Track was postponed?).

17+ times, huh? Wanna bet on who rode it first?
