New Night Added for NASA Family Science Night at the National Air and Space Museum

Challenger Center for Space Science Education and the National Air and Space Museum invite you to attend a special Family Science Night event at the Museum. Due to high volume, a new night has been added on Wednesday, August 20. August 18 is now filled. This special evening for NASA HQ and NASA GSFC employees, contractors, and their families, and the staff and families from the Smithsonian Institution and Challenger Center, will celebrate humanity's quest to know its place in the cosmos. This year we'll explore whether Earth is the only world with intelligent life or one among many, and in the process reconnect with our overwhelming need to push back the frontiers of knowledge as a species of explorers.
