'Mission Mars' exhibit brings exploration of red planet to Space Center HoustonNASA's plans to send astronauts to Mars come alive in a new interactive exhibit opening to the public on Saturday (Jan. 21) at Space Center Houston.
From peering into an authentic Orion capsule to touching a real piece of the red planet, the new "Mission Mars" exhibit invites guests to step onto the martian surface as they tour the official visitor center for NASA's Johnson Space Center in Texas.
"Visitors will experience what it takes to travel to Mars, the hardware that will take us to the fourth planet in our solar system, and how humans may live on the red planet in the next few decades," said William Harris, president and CEO of Space Center Houston, in a statement.
