I’m kidding.
No, the accelerator was deactivated in the mid-2000s. Though, for a small fee, a docent is available to give tours of the control room, and your guests can indeed take a seat in the (immovable) flight simulator.
It’s takes a few steps down to get one’s self into the cockpit, but once you’re there the feeling is awesome in know- ing you are sitting where some of the most important men in all of space exploration had trained during the hey- day of NASA.
Along with a rental of the main area, Sam also can offer a small screening room and a conference room. The lat- ter is LEED-certified. Valet parking is available at The Fuge, and there are plenty of parking spaces for cars or shuttles. “Several hotels are in the area,” Domenick chimes in, “A Holiday Inn is right next door.”
Since it opened in January 2012, The Fuge has brought a revolutionary venue - both literally and figuratively - to the events fold within this region. As a planner, you’ve undoubtedly seen unique destinations, though you’re sure to find this venue to be one-of-a-kind.
Space - as the saying goes - is limited. Yet here, in this vast chamber where history and science combine with func- tionality and hospitality, that adage couldn’t be further from the truth.
The Fuge space - and what you can do with it - is limitless.
