The exhibit, kits, and activities will focus on the path towards a permanent presence on the Moon, the International Space Station as the micro-gravity laboratory, and current and future missions to Mars.

Exhibit themes include the differences and similarities between Earth, the Moon, and Mars, how we’re getting to the Moon and Mars, how we’ll live there, what we’ll learn, and more. All public and tribal libraries in the United States, territories and protectorates are eligible to apply.
