Journey to Space

May 28 - September 5

We’ve all imagined what it’s like to live and work in space, but only a select few have actually done it.

This summer at the Science Museum, learn all about the extraordinary conditions of space travel and the challenges and rewards of life on board the International Space Station—from the people who have lived there and those who helped them get there.

See relics from past decades of space exploration, including Neil Armstrong’s gloves from Apollo 11. Explore the conditions that make space travel so dangerous. Try some of the engineering technology that makes life and research possible in space. Step into a life-sized model of the Destiny Lab as it rotates around you. And find answers to the questions you’ve always had: How do astronauts sleep in a weightless environment? How do they eat? And how do they go to the bathroom?
