Forward to the Moon

April 18, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Forward to the Moon engages audiences in NASA efforts to send both humans and robots to the Moon and Mars. NASA’s 21st century Artemis program, named after the Greek moon Goddess and twin of Apollo, is the next step in our mission to explore the universe and land the first woman on the surface of the Moon. Jessica Meir from Caribou, Maine has been selected as one of the Artemis Mission astronauts and might be the first Mainer on the Moon – learn about it at the planetarium!

Narrated by Kari Byron from Crash Test World and Mythbusters.
