- Description
- The Century 21 Exposition took place between April 21 and October 21, 1962 and is also known as the Seattle World's Fair."A simulated space journey is a highlight in the Ford Motor Company Pavilion … It is called 'An Adventure in Outer Space' and the trip, from 'blast-off' to return, takes 15 minutes. The traveler sees models of the earth, moon, Saturn, Mars, galaxies and man-made orbiting satellites from the comfort of a 100-passenger 'space craft' ... A stewardess makes a welcoming announcement and explains the realistic pre-flight sounds of fueling and cabin pressurization necessary for passenger comfort during the 'flight.'
