Join us Monday, July 6 for NASA at Work: Exploring Space from the Ocean to Mars
5-7pm, 4 Eagle Ranch, Wolcott
Over the past year, from Artemis II’s orbit of the moon to “Project Hail Mary,” our thoughts and eyes have once again been turned towards the skies with a sense of curiosity, adventure and awe. Though “Project Hail Mary” made us think about space and our climate, when you think about NASA, you may not think about the deep ocean, or medical research, or their role as a key player in the search to address climate change.
Join panelists:
Nicole Stott, NASA astronaut and artist who spent over one hundred days in space aboard the International Space Station and founder of the Space for Art Foundation,

Bill Todd, Project Manager for Exploration Analogs at Johnson Space Center and the former NASA Undersea Research Team Project Lead; and

Phil Larson, VP at Observable Space and recent Chief of Strategy and Engagement for Space Exploration at the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory

as they explore NASA’s mission of “innovating for the benefit of humanity and inspiring the world through discovery.” Emmy Award-winning journalist Greg Dobbs will moderate this program.

Doors will open at 3:30 p.m.; panelists' discussion will take place from 5-7 p.m.
Join us ahead of the talk – kids and adults – for an opportunity for kids to paint a square that will be used to make an artistic space suit, an opportunity to see some of Stott’s art (including one of the art spacesuits developed through the Space for Art Foundation), a rolling documentary, a visit from the HAATS helicopter and camp lawn games!
Food will be available for purchase and there will be a cash bar.
Get tickets today!
