Five flags were placed atop the roof of Infinity Science Center during a topping out ceremony Wednesday near the Mississippi Welcome Center. The center along Interstate 10 not far from the Mississippi-Louisiana state line is designed to interest visitors in science and engineering and to highlight the work done at NASA's nearby John C. Stennis Space Center. The topping out is a traditional ceremony and marks the highest point of the building. "We're optimistic that this is going to be a scientific Disney World for Louisiana and Mississippi like nothing we've ever seen before," said George Schloegel, chairman of the Infinity board.
