Meet a Few Astronauts at Space Day 2007
Meet a few astronauts that have been to outer space, and learn about space exploration with hands-on activities and special stories just for kids, all at the world’s most famous air and space museum.
This family day event includes and meet-the-author book signings, and kids can learn how to build their own flyable model rocket with help from the Northern Virginia Association of Rocketry. There’s even a robot petting zoo, where you can interact with the latest in robot technology.
The highlight is an advanced sneak peek at the Lockheed Martin-designed spacecraft of the future and successor to the space shuttle – the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle.
