About the Exhibition

Do you have what it takes ... to live and work in space?

Explore the forbidding environment of space, including the dangers that astronauts face and the cutting-edge technologies that engineers have developed to help them survive. Experience the sights, sounds, smells, and sensation of floating as you climb aboard a full scale, rotating mock-up of the Destiny Lab on the International Space Station.

Learn how astronauts eat, sleep, and even go to the bathroom. Discover firsthand the challenges of working in space – operate a robotic arm, manage the limited power supply for life support, test your motor skills using a space glove and more.

See authentic artifacts from past missions, including Neil Armstrong’s helmet and gloves from Apollo 11, when he became the first person to walk on the moon. Hear from current and former astronauts on the challenges and accomplishments of their unique line of work. Gain insights into the future of space exploration and the next frontier for human civilization – Mars. Ignite your imagination at “Journey to Space.” For explorers of all ages.
