Kermit the Frog's World Tour Launches Into Space

NASA's Johnson Space Center to Host Out-of-This-World Celebration to Honor 50th Anniversary of World's Most Beloved Frog

Kermit the Frog, the world's most beloved frog will be honored for the 50th anniversary of his meteoric rise from the swamp to international icon.

For that honor, Kermit the Frog is taking a World Tour to visit his fans around the globe. After kicking off his tour in Kermit, Texas on October 14, Kermit will head to NASA's Johnson Space Center.

NASA has embraced Kermit's arrival by inviting local Houston children to an anniversary celebration for the world's most beloved frog, including a question and answer session with Kermit and a screening of the galactic adventure, Muppets in Space.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to have their photo taken with Kermit. While at Johnson Space Center, Kermit the Frog will experience a variety of out-of-this-world activities typically reserved for astronauts, including "walking" on a lunar landscape and sitting in the pilot's seat of the Space Shuttle.
