This exhibition offers a vision of the future of space travel as it boldly examines humanity's next steps in our solar system and beyond. Featuring a re-creation of a lunar habitat, a model of a space elevator rising up from the surface of the Moon, and engaging, immersive simulations, the exhibition celebrates the pioneering accomplishments of both manned and unmanned space missions and considers the critical partnership of robotic spacecraft and astronauts as humanity journeys farther beyond Earth.
