The Intrepid Museum will present an Astro Live program on Sunday, February 19 at 3:00pm ET. In this event, participants will get to hear a firsthand account about life in space!
In April 2022, NASA Astronaut Jessica Watkins launched as a mission specialist on NASA's SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station. During her six-month stay in space, she and her fellow crew members observed geological changes on Earth and conducted a variety of experiments in microgravity, including studying the effects of long-duration spaceflight on humans. Join us for a special conversation between Watkins and former NASA Astronaut Mike Massimino, where they will discuss life in space and what's next for Watkins as part of the Artemis Team.
This Astro Live will take place live during the Museum's Kids Week festivities. To learn more about Kids Week, visit intrepidmuseum.org/kids-week . To register for a reminder to the live stream, click here.
