Moonbase: The Next Step (Planetarium Show)

For the last 20 years, humans have continuously lived and worked aboard the International Space Station 250 miles above Earth, preparing for the day we move farther into the solar system.

In the next 10 years that dream will become a reality. Humans will return to the Moon and develop a sustained, strategic presence near the lunar South Pole. The moon will become our first ‘staging post’ from which Mars and the rest of the solar system becomes tantalisingly closer.

Narrated by former NASA Astronaut Nicole Stott, MOONBASE: THE NEXT STEP is the story of this human endeavour, pushing scientific and technological advances to the limit.

Travelling the 250,000 miles and surviving the hostile and alien conditions of reduced gravity, extreme temperatures and toxic lunar dust, we explain the science and technology for this brave mission to happen.
