From Marshall: The Vision for Space Exploration Experience exhibit is housed in a 53-foot-long tractor and trailer rig. The exhibit is designed to share with visitors NASA's exploration goals to return to the moon and travel to Mars and beyond. The experience is intended to inspire visitors as they embark on a simulated journey into space.
The exhibit begins with a cosmic waiting area where visitors will learn what they will need to travel to the moon and Mars. Holographic video maps of the moon and Mars will allow visitors to learn more about their surfaces, the history of NASAís research on each, and future plans for exploration. The second section of the exhibit features a hexagonal theater with an interactive floor that allows visitors to feel as if they are walking on the surfaces of the moon and Mars. This section of the exhibit also explains NASAís future plans of traveling back to the moon to create a working environment that will help ensure safe future travel further into the solar system.
This exhibit should be staffed with at least 4-5 people and requires an 80X30 outdoor space. It travels to large, family-oriented events such as festivals, fairs, large sporting events, and museums. This exhibit is normally booked 1 to 2 years in advance.
