To create a rich backdrop for the 150,000-pound monument, the lighting design team created a 4-foot long replica of the Space Shuttle and pavilion to study various lighting schemes and properly gauge the large scale of the shuttle. By testing five interior tent colors, the team was able to demonstrate that a rich blue backdrop provided the desired dramatic contrast with the stark white Space Shuttle.
