The�U.S. Spacewalk of Fame and the City of Titusville, Florida, held a commemorative model rocket launch to mark 50 years of manned space flight on June 18, 2011. In addition to paying tribute to manned space flight, the launch also commemorated the last Space Shuttle Launch scheduled for July of 2011.
The U.S. Spacewalk of Fame is dedicated to the achievements of the local space workforce who made it possible for Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center to function. Without those people, there would have been no flight for Alan Shepard, no flight for John Glenn, no moon landing, or any Space Shuttle launches to build an International Space Station.� Many of those people are long term residents of the City of Titusville.
