Facts and Quotes:

Many scenes from The Cape are shot on location in places that up until now have never been seen by the general public.
Ian Toynton:
"We will be able to put on screen, stock footage that nobody has seen. We were offered unparalleled access to areas that give you a production value which is really quite unique."
Corbin Bernsen:
"It just creates an excitement around the entire project."


What do you hope that The Cape will introduce to the American Public?
David Kelsey:
"I really hope that it infuses a sense of where we've come from and where we're going and that we have a great opportunity in this country to do a lot of things that people all over the world don't have. And we take it for granted sometimes."
Bobby Hosea:
"I hope little boys and girls want to grow up to be rocket scientists, computer engineers, and jet pilots. I hope it sparks an interest in the space program. And I hope that they care about the characters and want to come back next week."
Lisa Malone: (KSC Public Affairs Officer)
"I would hope that the viewers watching The Cape would walk away with the feeling and think, 'Wow, it must be so exciting to work at NASA. And I would just love to be a part of that. They are really doing something so important for this nation'."
Bruce Melnick: (Former NASA Astronaut and Technical Advisor for The Cape)
"There's one thing I'd like to see come out of this show, and that is to make the American Public aware that we do have a live and vibrant space program and it's working real well."
