About this event

Summary
Experience the forefront of manned space exploration in a full-dome theater.

Highlights

Approximately 25 minutes of live commentary under the starry sky
25-minute program titled "One Step Beyond: The Road to Mars"
Humorous introduction of various episodes faced by astronauts

Details
Fifty years after the Apollo program, humanity aims for Mars, using the Moon as a base. The landing, known as the "7 minutes of terror" due to isolation and stress in space, and the extreme cold of minus 150 degrees, represent numerous challenges that are the first steps towards the grand dream of reaching Mars. The projection schedule may change due to circumstances.
