Moon, Mars, and Beyond

Moon, Mars, and Beyond (MM&B) is an interactive science exhibition with over two-dozen exhibits based on NASA’s Artemis mission, with the goal of sparking interest and awareness of the missions and of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) in general.

Built over the course of two years with the help of an Appalachian Regional Commission grant, the MM&B takes visitors on a journey through the myriad aspects that go into a monumental space program like Artemis. From the rocket that will take us back to the moon, the technology and techniques we will need to survive on other planets, to the effects long-term space mission have on our bodies, this exhibition showcases the immense human achievement of such a program. We also stress the fact that anyone can contribute to the space program, spotlighting cutting-edge initiatives close to home like Morehead State University’s Space Systems Engineering program, or Space Tango—a Lexington, KY-based firm who’s groundbreaking research on the International Space Station will help pave the way for longer missions.

The exhibition is open to groups of 10 or more ages 8+ by appointment, with the primary target being student groups grades 4th-12th.
