FACING MARS will be in the Museum's Lacks gallery. Visitors will experience the physical, psychological and scientific challenges of traveling to and living on Mars - selecting the optimal flight crew, building and launching rockets, "flying over" the Martian landscape, "walking on Mars" and trying their hand at mission control. With more than 20 thought-provoking and interactive exhibits, guests conduct their own personal analysis to decide whether or not they would survive a journey complete with isolation, space sickness, medical emergencies and more.  Receive free general admission with the purchase of the $4 FACING MARS special exhibit admission on the last two days,
