Wayne & Betty Johnson’s Story

Wayne and Betty Johnson’s favorite moments at the Science Center revolve around a members-only experience for the special exhibition at the time, Destination Moon.

“This was where we first met the Science Center membership team, which has led to a great friendship today,” Betty said.

After seeing the Apollo 11 capsule, Wayne and Betty decided to make their upcoming wedding themed around the moon landing and their date was set for July 20, 2019 – the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.

The day of their wedding was the same day as an exclusive members event at the Science Center, where engineers from the Apollo Missions talked about their experiences.

“Wayne was not going to miss it. I think he would have been late for our wedding in order to meet these guys. Wayne had the opportunity to ask many questions. This created the most special day all around,” Betty said.
