Fred Haise Statue

The City of Biloxi, in collaboration with Mississippi Power, is honoring local hero Fred Haise, an Apollo 13 astronaut and Biloxi native, on the 50th anniversary of his historic mission. The unveiling of a new statue, designed by local artist Mary Ott Tremmel Davidson, will celebrate Haise's contributions to space exploration and his impact on the Biloxi community.

This new landmark, named the Launch Pad, will feature a replica of the base of a Saturn V rocket, with the statue of Haise in astronaut gear positioned atop it. The event will be recorded and shared with the public, highlighting Haise's legacy as a source of inspiration for students and residents in the Mississippi Gulf Coast region.
