Cows, Angels and Shuttles

After successful public project art projects with CowParade and a Community of Angels, the space industry, notorious for being copycats to successful outreach and visibility projects, has caught onto the idea of public art. The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation is starting with a few hundred 8-foot Space Shuttle statues, to be sponsored and creatively dressed up. The Shuttles Orbiting the Space Coast project launched on June 19, 2008. Completed shuttles will be displayed at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in November 2008. After that, the shuttles will go to the sponsor’s desired public locations for approximately 8 months.
