The planet Earth sculpture outside of Mission: SPACE is finally spinning once again.

Mission: SPACE Earth Sculpture Spinning

The exterior of Mission: SPACE has undergone years-long refurbishment. During this process, the Earth sculpture that sits outside the front of the attraction was removed in August 2023 and returned in March 2024.

After its return, it still sat stagnant for many months. The planet hadn’t spun since late 2021/ early 2022, until last August when the spinning effect was finally restored.

However, we reported last month that the spinning effect had once again stopped working. That has since changed, as of Tuesday, March 11, the planet is spinning once again.

The planet’s design contains swirls of blue and white. In front of it is the Mission: SPACE logo with a space shuttle seemingly passing across the planet.

You can view the planet’s spinning effect in our video below.
