Remodeled Cosmosphere draws crowds with space shuttle exhibit
Hutchinson AP The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center reopened March 15 expanded to 13.5 million dollars, staging a full scale space shuttle Odyssey, Apollo 13 module, Soviet spacecraft, Sputnik models, a Redstone warhead, and a German Room with V‑1 and V‑2 rockets. Attendance jumped 111 percent for the first two weeks, with Reno County residents still free entry. Max Ary called the reception exactly what was hoped, noting strong interest in the German exhibit as groups pause to read its materials.
