Make space in your summer for free fun
You don’t have to go to the moon to meet an astronaut.You can do it at the Air and Space Museum on July 16.
Pioneering pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared on a flight around the globe in 1937.But she’ll be at the National Air and Space Museum on July 16—the museum’s first Family Day of the season—to tell you all about her adventures.(Okay,it’s actually an actress pretending to be Earhart.) NASA astronaut Patrick Forrester will be there to answer your questions,too.Come to learn how space exploration changed the world.
Another Family Day event takes place on July 25.At “Discover the Moon Day!” you can steer (驾驶) a robotic rover (a vehicle for exploring the surface of a planet),examine meteorites (陨石) that were found on the moon,see the capsule (太空舱) that took the Apollo 11 astronauts there and back and view photos of the lunar surface using 3-D glasses.
