For INFINITY Science Center leaders, commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Hancock County, Mississippi, facility on April 30 represented not just a celebration but a renewed beginning.
INFINITY opened in April 2012 as a front-door attraction for the state of Mississippi. Located on I-10 Exit 2, just inside the Mississippi state line from Louisiana, the center is visible to multiple thousands of eastbound travelers each day.
The scheduled event marked a decade of growth and tens of thousands of visitors for the facility that serves as the official visitor center for NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis. It also comes as INFINITY is poised to emerge from pandemic status to take its place as a premier tourist attraction.
As the official Stennis visitor center, INFINITY has strong ties to rocket propulsion test site and includes a variety of NASA and space-related items. Featured exhibits include a pair of Apollo-era rocket engines; the Apollo 4 command module that flew to space in 1967; a full-sized, walk-through mockup of the International Space Station’s Destiny module; and the Saturn V S-IC-15 stage built to launch the Apollo 19 mission before it was canceled.
