For the next few weeks, Deb and I will be exploring Epcot’s Future World pavilions. Starting with the modern version of a trip to Mars.

Mission: SPACE in Epcot’s Future World is a very good re-enactment of a trip to Mars for a themepark environment. I know when it first opened it was a little intense for a lot of people. Disney had gotten the help of NASA astronauts in development of the ride. To those astronauts, Mission: SPACE probably seemed tame. Goes to show you the difference between people like us and them.

After a few tweaks, most people started to really enjoy the experience. While some, as Deb will tell you tomorrow, never did.

I have always liked this late day photo I took back in 2011 of Mission: SPACE.
