NASA – A Human Adventure is a thrilling journey through mankind’s exploration of space. See the progression of NASA’s remarkable achievements in manned space flights and space exploration – the greatest adventure that humans have ever undertaken. Discover the exciting history of rocket science and space flight, and learn about some of the world’s most amazing accomplishments in space technology.
NASA – A Human Adventure is the most comprehensive and extensive touring space flight exhibition in the world. The exhibition marshals an extraordinary collection of over 200 historically significant artifacts from the U.S. and Soviet Union space programs. The objects on display in the exhibition are original and space flown objects or high fidelity replicas and scale models.
The exhibition follows the story of space travel. Start with the early dreamers who ignited a passion for travel to the stars, and move on to the brilliant pioneers who took the first brave steps to make trips into space a reality. Study all of their incredible inventions and see how the technology developed. Marvel at the brave astronauts who risked their lives on dangerous missions. We can only imagine the endurance and tenacity all of these gifted people possessed to come up with their countless innovations and carry out the exhausting journeys to success that made each accomplishment possible.
ArtScience Museum presents Indonesia Space Science Society, by Venzha Christ
Working with artists, scientists, astronomers and engineers in Indonesia, Venzha established Indonesia Space Science Society as a framework for the exploration of space from a different perspective. While lacking the means that large space agencies such as NASA have, the Indonesia Space Science Society provides us with a compelling encounter with space nonetheless.
