Theater of the universe
This is your chance to hear from people who are imagining the future alongside those who are actively building it!
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will host “Science Fact or Fiction: Leveraging Space to Transform Medicine and Biotechnology on Earth,” featuring dignitaries from both Star Trek and NASA, beginning at 1 p.m. on Sunday, November 5.
Science fiction has inspired real-life space exploration projects, including the launch of SpaceX CRS-29, which will carry innovative technology, scientific experiments and supplies to the International Space Station. She also influenced and inspired many scientists, engineers and other professionals at NASA to join the space field. This unique panel discussion boldly explores the synergies between creators on both sides of science and storytelling.
Please note: Seats in the Universe Theater are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The panel “Scientific Fact from Fiction: Leveraging Space to Transform Medicine and Biotechnology on Earth” is included with admission.
