The ShareSpace Foundation, created by Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, supports STEM education and inspires the next generation of explorers. For the Foundation’s high‑profile kick‑off fundraiser and celebration of the Anniversary of Apollo 11, they needed a trusted AV partner capable of supporting a star‑studded event at one of the most iconic venues in the world.

They chose CCI.

Project Goal

The Foundation required full audiovisual support, multi‑location recording, and post‑production services for a gala hosted at the Apollo/Saturn V Center at Kennedy Space Center — directly beneath the historic Saturn V rocket.

The event featured:

• Host John Travolta
• Co‑host Seth Green
• Special appearance by Buzz Aldrin
• A live audience of donors, VIPs, and space industry supporters

The goal was to capture the energy, storytelling, and entertainment of the evening while ensuring flawless technical execution.

Our Solution

CCI provided comprehensive production support before, during, and after the event.

Event Production Services

• Teleprompters for hosts and speakers
• High‑brightness projectors for presentations and video playback
• Full AV support across two separate event areas
• Multi‑camera recording to capture every moment
• Studio pre‑recording sessions with Buzz Aldrin at CCI’s facilities

Capturing a One‑of‑a‑Kind Program

The gala included a memorable on‑stage conversation in the Lunar Theater, where John Travolta and Buzz Aldrin shared stories, movie clips, and even showcased their dance moves — with Seth Green moderating.

In one unforgettable moment, a guest from the audience received an Uma Thurman–style haircut from Travolta and Aldrin, a playful nod to Pulp Fiction.

CCI captured it all.
