There will be no danger to Will Robinson or anyone from the cast of the
original television series LOST IN SPACE when they come to NASA Glenn
Research Center on Friday, April 6 from 10:30 11:30 a.m. for a tour and
visit with employees. Cast members will be in town to appear at
“FrightVision 2001.” Their trip to Glenn will give them new insight on how
the science fiction they portrayed in the show is turning into reality.

Media representatives are invited to join the cast at 10:30 a.m. when they
begin their tour of the Electric Power Laboratory, featuring two very large
space-environment simulation chambers. While at the facility, our guests
will learn about the challenges of interstellar travel, existing propulsion
ideas and the possibilities emerging from science fiction that may one day
provide the desired propulsion breakthroughs.

At 11 a.m., the cast will head over to Glenn’s Visitor Center to greet and
talk with employees.
