Artemis II: Moon Bound

February 7 – 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

A celebration of one of humanity’s most daring adventures. Artemis II marks the next giant leap in our journey back to the Moon—this time with astronauts aboard, paving the way for sustainable exploration and inspiring future generations. We honor the courage of the crew, the brilliance of the engineers and scientists, and the vision that drives us to push beyond boundaries.
Come and join us as we celebrate Artemis II with a hands-on program, where you will build and launch your own miniature version of the Space Launch System (SLS). Artemis II is a mission that reminds us all that the sky is not the limit—it’s just the beginning.
