Key Takeaways:
The Museum of Flight in Seattle has launched a new interactive exhibit called “Home Beyond Earth,” exploring the past and future of human space habitation.
The exhibit features over 50 artifacts, models of space stations (like Skylab, Mir, ISS), space-flown objects, uniforms, and immersive digital projections to simulate life in space.
Visitors can personalize their experience using digital "passport" cards to create an avatar, choose a space station, and determine their potential role or job in space.
Running from June 8 through January 20, the exhibit also includes special programs with guest speakers such as astronauts, authors, and engineers.
If you have ever imagined living in space, you’re not alone.
“Home Beyond Earth” is a new interactive exhibit at the Museum of Flight in Seattle that gives visitors a look at the past and possible future of living in space. Looking at the artifacts, it appears humans thought about venturing to the stars well before the means to create the necessary technology existed.
