NASA – Journey to Tomorrow
Bring the excitement of exploration to your visit with Journey to Tomorrow, NASA Glenn’s newest traveling exhibit. This 53-foot trailer has been transformed into an interactive environment packed with hands-on activities and digital learning stations.
Journey to Tomorrow houses eight computer kiosks that provide a variety of NASA-developed programming. Examples include “Celebrating 100 Years of Flight,” highlighting NASA’s contributions to the first 100 years of powered flight; “Brain Bites,” which answers common questions about air and space travel; and a lunar landing simulator. Additional workstations include glovebox activities, a planetary gravity demonstrator and a solar system scale where visitors discover how much they would weigh on each of the planets.
An inspiring video sets the tone as guests enter the traveling exhibit. During NASA missions, Journey to Tomorrow can even show space shuttle and space station operations on a live feed from NASA TV.
An actual moon rock, returned from the Apollo 17 lunar mission, rounds out the experience. As you exit, you may have your picture taken as astronauts on the moon or Mars in the “Picture Yourself in Space” photo booth.
The exhibit is run by NASA employees. At some events, the staff may include scientists and engineers who work on the latest aircraft, rocket and spacecraft designs.
Journey to Tomorrow is wheelchair accessible.
