SPACE CENTER, Houston — NASA’s Johnson Space Center announced plans today to build a $40-million visitors’ center with a mini-Astrodome and two high-tech movie theaters.
The visitors’ center will be built on 123 acres of unused land at the Johnson Center, and NASA officials hope to have it open and operating by 1989. Plans call for the nonprofit Manned Space Flight Education Foundation to build and operate the center. The foundation will issue tax-free bonds to pay for the construction.
