Comprised of 3 (maybe 4) high tech labs, it will also include an exhibit area with an auditorium. Dedicating the center was one of the last things done by Goldin. The article has a great (brief) history of Carl Sagan, and everything involved in the center to be built."

They could have billions and billions of visitors every year!

Hope they will be charging 10$/visitor.Now that US government decided that money are better spent on Tomahawks than space probes, they need some other sources of funds.
