A Central Florida family enjoyed a private tour of Kennedy Space Center on September 18, 2025, a prize from the inaugural Cheers to Kindness fundraiser hosted by Fostering Kindness. Donated by Galactic Medallion, the experience symbolized how community generosity and space exploration can inspire foster youth and their families.
NASA gets under 0.5 % of federal spending yet returns roughly $3 for every $1 invested, spurring innovation, jobs, and tax revenue. To fund moon and Mars ambitions amid fierce global competition, it’s leaning on private partners, international cost‐sharing, and tighter program management—because sustained investment today seeds breakthroughs, economic growth, and leadership for decades to come.
“As commercial spaceflight transitions from novelty to normalcy, partnerships like Galactic Medallion and NASTAR Center become pivotal. They’re shaping not just an industry, but society’s evolving relationship with space, democratizing astronaut experiences that were once reserved exclusively for professional explorers and the ultra-wealthy. Ultimately, this integration of luxury tourism with rigorous astronaut training symbolizes a broader cultural shift—where space travel is becoming attainable, safe, and profoundly inspiring.”
Elizabeth Schneider’s Galactic Medallion isn’t just about luxury tours; it’s about inspiring a deeper connection to space, from elite travelers experiencing aerial tours to foster youth discovering new possibilities at Kennedy Space Center.
