Spacecon was a relaxacon held in Wapakoneta, Ohio, birthplace of astronaut Neil Armstrong and home of the Armstrong Air and Space Museum. It was founded in 1979, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Apollo 11's moon landing, and continued annually on the weekend closest to Lunar Landing Day and, not coincidentally, Bill Bowers' birthday.
The con was founded and organized by Bowers and Rusty Hevelin, after Midwestern fandom discovered the town via the Wapakoneta Triangle.
