What does it take to dress for life beyond Earth? Join Danica Vallone at the Exploratorium’s Life in Space Daytime Festival for an interactive, family-friendly experience exploring how both real spaceflight and science fiction have imagined the human journey into space.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see and try on astronaut-inspired gear created for film, including gloves, boots, helmets, and other artifacts, while learning about the engineering, design, and storytelling behind them. Through hands-on demonstrations and accessible stories, Danica will connect fictional portrayals of space exploration with the real technologies, challenges, and ideas that continue to shape humanity’s future off-world.
Adventurers of all ages are invited to get dressed for space, take a photo, and discover how stories can help us imagine what comes next.
