Space museum landing in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is getting a new out-of-this-world attraction.
The Moonshot Museum will launch in summer 2022, dedicated to star gazers and space buffs.
The announcement came just ahead of International Astronomy Day last weekend.
Space robotics company, Astrobotic is behind the museum project and said visitors will be able to experience a real spacecraft being built and take park in hands-on lunar exploration activities.
Pennsylvania’s first museum dedicated to space will feature the main attraction of a large window through which visitors can watch real lunar landers and rovers being built and readied to fly to the Moon.
Museum visitors will experience the thrill of spaceflight up close and learn about possible careers in space exploration through interactive exhibits, educational programs, and specially curated space experiences.
"Space is more than just rocket science. We want to provide the ‘spark’ – that moment when an individual is inspired to pursue a space or tech career who may not have otherwise done so," said John Thornton, Astrobotic CEO and Chair of the Moonshot Museum’s Board of Directors.
