I was hired (Ira Gallen) by K'Nex Toys to cover the event at the Cosi presentation Destination Space, in 1997. This is the UN-cut footage I shot.

September 27th, 1997-March 8th, 1998: DESTINATION: SPACE! appears in LIMITEDSPACE. Among other things, it includes more than 75 original pieces of artwork from renowned space artist Robert McCall.

Robert Theodore McCall (December 23, 1919 – February 26, 2010) was an American artist, best known for his space art works.

McCall was an illustrator for Life magazine in the 1960s, created promotional artwork for Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Richard Fleischer's production Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) and worked as an artist for NASA, documenting the history of the Space Race. McCall was also production illustrator on Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) and Walt Disney's The Black Hole (1979). The character Commander William Riker expressed admiration for the work of "Bob McCall" in one episode of the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

McCall's work can be found on U.S. postage stamps, and also NASA mission patches such as for Apollo 17.

He has created murals for the walls of the National Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery of Art, The Pentagon, Epcot, and Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. McCall was also commissioned by The Walt Disney Company to do a painting called "The Prologue and The Promise" for the Epcot attraction, Horizons in 1983. Guests could see the mural at the end of the attraction as they exited.

McCall appeared as an imposter for a U.S. Air Force pilot on the June 24, 1963 episode of To Tell the Truth. He received one of the four possible votes from the panel. McCall died in 2010 of heart failure in Scottsdale, Arizona.

COSI (/ˈkoʊsaɪ/), officially the Center of Science and Industry, is a science museum and research center in Columbus, Ohio. COSI was opened to the public on 29 March 1964 and remained there for 35 years. In 1999, COSI was moved to a 30000 m2 (320000 sq ft) facility, designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki along a bend in the Scioto River in the Franklinton neighborhood. COSI features more than 300 interactive exhibits throughout themed exhibition areas.

K'Nex /kəˈnɛks/ is a construction toy system created by Joel Glickman. It was first introduced in America in 1992. K'Nex is designed and produced by K'Nex Industries Inc. of Hatfield, Pennsylvania. K'Nex was purchased by Florida-based company Basic Fun! in 2018.

The toy's building system consists of interlocking plastic rods, connectors, blocks, gears, wheels, and other components, which can be assembled to form a wide variety of models, machines, and architectural structures. While K'Nex is designed for children ages 5–12, a bigger version, Kid K'Nex, is aimed towards children 5 and younger.
