'JOURNEY TO TOMORROW' TRAILER TO VISIT NASA LANGLEY OPEN HOUSE

HAMPTON, Va. -- Visitors to NASA Langley Research Center's open house 
on Saturday, Sept. 22, will have a chance to explore tomorrow, not 
only in the facility's research labs, but with NASA's Journey to 
Tomorrow trailer.

The traveling exhibit, coming from NASA's Glenn Research Center in 
Cleveland for the 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. event, will offer participants a 
chance to experience a simulated lunar landing, compare the weight of 
a soda can on different planets, get the answers to questions about 
air and space travel and come see a moon rock.

A NASA "Home and City" exhibit in the 53-foot trailer highlights how 
our lives benefit from spinoffs created through NASA programs. A 
display case features models of future air and space craft, including 
NASA X-Planes, the Orion capsule and NASA's new rocket, the Space 
Launch System.

The Journey to Tomorrow exhibit, which is free and open to the public, 
also will be at NASA Langley's official visitors center, the Virginia 
Air & Space Center, on Friday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
