Living in Space
May 24 - September 8, 2009
Living in Space recreates the crew quarters and work areas of the International Space Station. Created in collaboration with NASA, the exhibition allows children to experience the challenging and rewarding collaborative work environment of this historic project. No task is routine in space, and kids will test their physical skills, memory and problem-solving abilities as they understand what it is like to be an astronaut in the 21st century. Children will create action plans for their day, select and wear space outfits, prepare and eat a space meal, observe and photograph astronomical phenomenon, perform space experiments, make repairs to the space station and dock the station with a visiting space ship. They will even be able to see how astronauts exercise, use the bathroom, and take a nap while traveling at 18,000 miles per hour while orbiting 220 miles above the earth!
