Key Takeaways:
The Museum of Flight in Seattle has launched "Home Beyond Earth," an interactive exhibit exploring the past and future possibilities of human life in space.
The exhibit features over 50 artifacts, models of space stations (such as Skylab, Mir, and ISS), space-flown objects, and uniforms, complemented by immersive digital projections and conceptual space art.
Visitors can engage with interactive "passport" cards to personalize their experience, creating an avatar and choosing their space station and activities to determine their future role and home in space.
Designed to be highly immersive, the exhibit runs from June 8 to January 20 and includes additional programs featuring 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.
