Largest Traveling Space Exhibit Ever Opens

November 2003 (Newstream) -- The largest traveling space exhibit ever is opening this weekend to fire up a new generation of space enthusiasts - with help from the last man to walk on the moon.

Former NASA astronaut Eugene Cernan helped open the "Space: A Journey To Our Future" exhibit at it's first stop in Seattle, Washington. The 12,000 square foot exhibit will allow visitors to touch rocks from Mars and the moon, take a virtual visit to the red planet and explore the international space station.

The exhibit employs the most advanced technology available here on earth to get its message out. The exhibit will be at Seattle's Pacific Science Center through May 9th. Then, it begins its own journey - a 12 to 15 city tour over the next five years.
