Fred Haise Q&A

This event has passed.

We were thrilled to spend an unforgettable evening with Fred Haise, one of the Apollo 13 astronauts, at the Leitner Family Observatory & Planetarium!

 

It was truly inspiring to hear firsthand about his harrowing experience aboard Apollo 13, as well as the many contributions he’s made to space exploration since that historic mission. For his courage, perseverance, and lifelong dedication to advancing space science, Haise is one of only 24 Apollo astronauts inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame. He is also a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the 1971 AIAA Haley Astronautics Award, among many other honors.

 

A heartfelt thank you to Fred Haise for sharing your time, stories, and legacy with us. We hope everyone who joined us at the Observatory left feeling a little more connected to the cosmos.
