This year, 2008, NASA is honored to be one of three featured programs. “NASA: Fifty Years and Beyond” will showcase the role that the men and women of NASA have played in broadening the horizons of American science and culture, as well as the role that they will continue to play in helping to shape the future. The festival will also highlight the Himalayan nation of Bhutan and the music, food, and wine of Texas. This site will be updated daily with images from the festival so please check back.Image Credit: NASA/Sean Smith
