Leaders celebrate achievements in space at Epcot

[orlpassholder]

Greetings all from the Geek Labs.... Its a space day

The NASA "Mars Exploration Rovers" team and NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe recently visited Mission: SPACE at Epcot to discuss the latest Mars findings and take part in space-related ceremonies.

Walt Disney World President Al Weiss honored the NASA "Mars Exploration Rovers" team during a ceremony dedicating a new space quote plaque to add to the permanent historic quotes located in the courtyard of Mission: SPACE. The plaque ceremony paid tribute to a quote made by O'Keefe stating, "We're back...and we're on Mars."

That quote is also in huge letters on the "big red ball." I was wondering what the deal was.

Not too articulate a quote, but hey, whatever floats your boat (or propels your rocket )...

Ya know what that ment? HUGE BUTT CROWD!!

There were Cameras EVERYWHERE!! Unfortunatly I wasn't close enough to get to see the taping, not to mention I was working. It looks okay, but a little gaudy.
