Did you know? It’s World Space Week. These seven days are dedicated to sparking curiosity and strengthening our understanding of space and its impact on society.

Here in Charleston, there’s a celebration that’s going to be out of this world. On Tuesday, Oct. 8, NASA astronaut Robert ‘Hoot’ Gibson will make a stop at Flight Adventure Park.

Captain Hoot will visit the park for an exclusive space education meet + greet. Pro tip: Guests will receive a discount of 36.5% off park entry in honor of the number of days Captain Hoot has spent in space.
