- Mission: SPACE is a motion simulator thrill ride at Epcot. It simulates what an astronaut might experience aboard a spacecraft on a mission to Mars, from the higher g-force of blastoff to the speculative hypersleep. The attraction opened to the public in a "soft opening" mode in June 2003, and celebrated its grand opening on October 9 with a ceremony attended by Disney CEO Michael Eisner, HP CEO Carly Fiorina and NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe, as well as several NASA astronauts from its many phases of human space exploration. The attraction was built on the former site of Horizons, a dark ride that offered optimistic visions of what life might be like in the future. Horizons closed permanently in 1999 after a few years of sporadic operation; construction began on Mission: SPACE shortly thereafter. Industry estimates put the cost of developing the new attraction at US$100 million. Initially it was sponsored by Compaq, which began working with Disney Imagineers on the design in April 2000. Hewlett-Packard assumed the sponsorship upon its merger with Compaq in 2002. The simulator hardware used in Mission: SPACE was designed and built by Environmental Tectonics Corporation of Pennsylvania with a nearly $30 million contract awarded in February 2000. Environmental Tectonics sued Disney in 2003 seeking over $15 million US alleging failure to pay the full amount of the contract and sharing proprietary design details with competitors. Disney countersued alleging the company failed to deliver according to the contract and increased the cost of the ride by nearly $20 million US. The companies settled in January 2009.
- Mission: SPACE is een simulator in het Amerikaanse attractiepark Epcot. De attractie is niet in andere parken van Disney te vinden en is ook uniek in zijn soort. Mission: SPACE heeft de attractie Horizons vervangen.
- Mission : SPACE est une attraction du parc EPCOT de Walt Disney World Resort qui simule l'entraînement requis par les astronautes de la NASA. La trame de l'attraction est tirée du film Mission to Mars avec Gary Sinise, vu dans Forrest Gump ou Apollo 13. Il fait office de guide à travers une simulation de mission pour Mars dans un simulateur d'impesanteur de type centrifugeuse. Les participants peuvent ressentir l'effet d'un décollage de fusée. Cette attraction est construite en lieu et place de Horizons, une attraction qui présentait l'habitat dans le futur mais vu lors de sa création en 1982. Elle a ouvert au public en août 2003 mais n'a été inaugurée que le 9 octobre 2003 avec comme invités Michael D. Eisner, président de l'époque de la Walt Disney Company; Carly Fiorina, présidente d'HP de l'époque; Sean O'Keefe, administrateur de la NASA; ainsi que les astronautes Mae Jemison, Guion Bluford Jr, Buzz Aldrin, Bruce McCandless, Jim Lovell et Wally Schirra.
