Podcasts about mission space

Len Testa and Jim Hill break down the surprisingly intense history of Epcot's Mission: Space—from launch-day astronauts and jetpack stunts to the guest experience that made this ride one of Disney's most regretted one-and-dones. The Grand Opening – Jetpacks, Walter Cronkite, Buzz Aldrin, and a fireworks display that nearly gave journalists flashbacks. What Went Wrong – Mission: Space didn't just thrill—it made people sick, killed plants, and gave Epcot's custodial team nightmares. The Shrubbery Crisis – Yes, protein spills killed the landscaping. Fixing the Fail – How Disney added trash cans, benches, cold air, and a non-spinning version of the ride (that's actually better). Ride Longevity – Why guests rarely re-ride, and how Mission: Space quietly became the least essential thrill ride at Walt Disney World. What Comes Next – With depreciation schedules catching up, is it finally time to replace it? And what's the likelihood of a Figment/Inside Out combo attraction next door? A fascinating look at how cutting-edge ambition can spin a little too hard—and what happens when the recovery benches outnumber the ride's fans.

Are you someone that is tired of the traditional way non-profit organizations are run? Many non-profit organizations are stuck thinking in the traditional categories - unwilling to take the risks to innovate. This has led to the downfall of so many organizations, but it doesn't have to be this way. How can you innovate in any position - even if you are not in a position of authority?Join us today on the Lasting Change podcast, where we're talking with Ted Esler, the president of Missio Nexus and author of the book “The Innovation Crisis: Creating Disruptive Influence in the Ministry You Lead.” Together we're talking about how many non-profits do not value innovation or create the space for partners and employees to truly innovate.Learn more about how you can get involved today at onecollective.org/podcasts

Walt Disney World partnered with Hewlett-Packard to open Mission SPACE in 2003, a high-tech space flight simulator attraction. However, Disney quickly became embroiled in a lawsuit with the manufacturer, and the intense motion sickness led to the death of two people. Hosted by Corbin Davenport, guest starring Ryan Gillie.

It's been a little over a year since Space 220 opened at Epcot in Walt Disney World. As part of World Discovery, it complements the out-of-this-world themes found in Mission Space and in the recent Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. So we take the opportunity to grab a reservation and dine among the stars--as well as a few floating astronauts. We'll share what this experience was like, in terms of the Six P's of Promise, People, Place, Process, Product & Price. Does Space 220 truly elevate your dining experience? Is it worth the value, and the price--especially when you think of other dining options around this park? Last week we reviewed five restaurants around World Showcase. How do these compare? We'll find out in this upcoming podcast.

We Asked an Aerospace Engineer about Mission: Space

You might be asking yourself: Why these two? I thought these people compared like for like attractions, or perhaps spiritual successors, what gives? Well, upon deep dive exploration, both attractions have 2 separate ride experiences. Both offer sickness bags. Both are in the second gate. You get the picture. Hear Jimmy, Erik and Dan explore these two very different attractions and determine which is better. Which is more likely to induce sickness? Less likely?

While Walt's dream for Epcot was never fully — or even close to fully realized, it's still a remarkable tribute to his original ideals; his spirit of discovery, his fascination with the future and its endless possibilities, and the invitation to celebrate that future together. And it happens to be my favorite Disney park. So I'm excited to have you come along with me for this first of two episodes where we explore and appreciate the Soundscapes of this wonderful place. Listen closely for the sounds of your own favorite areas. No on-attraction music will be featured in this episode, but I think you'll be able to place the location of most of what you hear. If not, you can always check the show notes which include time-stamps for the various areas we wander through. Now, Epcot is always evolving and, at the time of this recording, undergoing its biggest transformation. So, the Future World that you hear today is but a moment in time. And I'm thrilled to be able to share that moment with you right now.

Sometimes it seems easier to just “do all the stuff” for your relationship with Jesus than to actually BE in relationship with Him, but that ends up feeling hallow. How can you create space in your life that allows for your relationship with Jesus to flourish, and subsequently every other relationship in your life? Sermon Notes: Philippians 4:10-13 Luke 10:38-42 Corporate Discipleship: 1. I do. You watch. We talk. 2. I do. You help. We talk. 3. You do. I help. We talk. 4. You do. I watch. We talk. 5. You do. Someone else watches. Jesus Discipleship 1. I be. You watch. We talk. 2. I be. You be. We talk. 3. I do out of my being. You watch. We talk. 4. You do out of your being. I watch. We talk. 5. You be. Someone else watches. Implication: Discipleship from a place of “being-with” is sustainable, steady, and successful.

Workshopping Humanity is a podcast where we discuss the cultural and philosophical elements of a piece of popular culture that has also influenced our life in a profound way. Host Brett Schutt talks to Kevin Guinn, the two were coworkers at the Disney World attraction Mission Space on their college program. They discuss a hidden underrated Disney gem Meet the Robinsons, why it's better than the majority of the Disney films coming out around the time and it's various themes of communication, innovation and family and how it ties into the lore of the Disney Parks as well. They also discover that Mort from Madagascar has committed several crimes. Visit our website- www.toyboxd.com

Our main topic this month is all about Wonders of Life. With this being Part I, we are just going to scratch the surface about all this pavilion and attraction had to offer. This pavilion is actually still around, the golden dome that is next to Mission: Space, Guardians of the Galaxy, and it also served as a festival center from time to time over the years. How is leading us here in our journey through Wonder of Life, starting us off in 1976. How actually reads to us some of the original sponsorship concepts presented for the EPCOT Project, which are quite fascinating. Rolly Crump was named the show lead on this project and along with Dr. Lewis, following the mindset “If it's a ton of fun, and an ounce of information, we've reached the teachable moment”. The group settled on the eight health habits, which seem to have been lost to history. How gives us his best estimate based on what he found in his research. Using these habits, attractions and shows were developed. As How goes through the early concept pieces for Wonders of Life, we connect the various concepts to the actual attractions that came about. Ideas never really went away and some actually made it to the final show as the years went by. The Tooth Follies is a comical idea that didn't seem to make the final cut, but what a name and also imagine sitting inside the actual mouth. We also discuss the early versions of Body Wars and how they were developed. How gives us so much good info as we can easily compare the development of all these attractions to what really came to be. Part II and probably Part III will be covering all of the attractions you know and love, so please remember to subscribe and get ready for these upcoming episodes.
