NOTE TO EDITORS/NEWS DIRECTORS: Lost in Space Cast Navigates Way to 
NASA Glenn 

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.
