| Notes | The Century 21 Exposition took place between April 21 and October 21, 1962 and is also known as the Seattle World's Fair.
"Four times an hour, a 60-thousand-billion-billion mile round trip into space starts and ends in this circular, domed auditorium. The imaginary 10-minute excursion to the outer galaxies simulates what in actuality would be a two-billion light year journey. The passengers--up to 750 of them per trip--take their places behind curved hand railings mounted on the tiered floor." (Century 21 Exposition. (1962). Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. pp. 14-15)
