Perfect for anyone wanting to understand how NASA is returning humans to deep space."

2  Title:  Apollo 11 moon landing or not?

"From Columbus to Lewis and Clark, history has been defined by those who venture into the unknown. Join us as we revisit nineteen sixty-nine and America's impossible dream: the race to the moon. Experience the monumental challenge of building a vehicle capable of carrying humans to the lunar surface—and returning them safely. This presentation explores

how the Apollo missions united the world in a single breathtaking moment as Neil Armstrong took that first heroic step. Discover just how close the mission came to failure, and their grit to overcome every obstacle—resulting in humanity's greatest achievement."

5  Title:  Apollo: The Edge-of-Your-Seat Moon Missions (1968–1972)

From 1968 to 1972, NASA's Apollo program turned impossible dreams into reality—six landings, twelve moonwalkers. Failure was not an option, but it was always nearby. Watch how spooky-smart engineers pulled it off. I'd say hold your breath for the wild ride... except, yeah no, no air in space. 

4  Title:  The incredible Hubble Space Telescope

Dive into the triumphs and hiccups of Hubble's legendary career—how it actually works, the jaw-dropping images it captures, and an epic trek 15 billion light-years to the universe's edge. What's waiting out there? One day, maybe we'll go see for ourselves. What do you think?

7 Title:   Awesomer Space events

Space? Minus two hundred fifty degrees Celsius—talk about cool! Sorry, it’s awesomer. Come check out epic space wins: rockets blasting off, sleek spacecraft zooming, the International Space Station orbiting like a boss. We’ll hit Mercury, Venus, a quick Earth pit stop, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn… then Pluto (yeah, former planet) for a flyby. Let’s keep rolling—what’s out there past everything? 

3  Title:  Inside Kennedy Space Center

Take a VIP tour and explore behind the scenes at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Learn how everything functions. See how it was all construct in just seven years—squeaking by to put men on the Moon in nineteen sixty-nine. We’ll also see how rockets and payloads are processed and cleared for launch. 

6 Title:  Aurora Borealis: The Sun's 93-Million-Mile Light Show

Ever wonder where the Northern Lights come from? We trace their wild journey—from fiery solar storms deep inside the sun, across 93 million miles of space, all the way to Earth. This will only take about one hundred twenty thousand years, so pack lunch. You'll see how stuff slams into our atmosphere and paint the sky in greens, purples, and reds. Science, space, and a little cosmic magic. 

9  Title:  Killer Asteroids from space? Maybe? come see! 

Come meet some asteroids, buzzing harmless by Earth but some do decide to stay—interstellar wanderers like the 3I/ATLAS keep cruising through our neighborhood, alien ships? Come find out. Earth and Moon bear the battle marks from impacts that gouged craters in minutes; NASA's hunting harder and looking at how to protect Earth. The numbers are staggering. Luckily most just say hi and keep moving. .

12  Title:  Total Solar Eclipse: August 12, 2026 – Your Front-Row Seat 

Let’s get ready for the Total Solar Eclipse.  First, we learn how to watch the eclipse safely, what you need, and where is the best place for viewing.  We’ll look at some pictures of the April 8th, 2024, total eclipse. Next, we’ll cover the different types of eclipses and why the placement and size of our moon is unique for eclipses.  

18 Title:  In Work Cosmic Scale: How Big Is "Big"?

Short Description: A mind-bending dive into the vastness of space—from tiny Earth to monster stars, swirling galaxies, and the mind-numbing size of the universe itself. Stretches ninety-three billion light-years across, yet every twinkling star you see tonight is actually ancient history—nothing's where it seems, everything's moving, and "big" barely scratches the surface.

10 Title: Constellations of the night sky

We’ll learn about the planet’s, stars and constellations in the sky.  We’ll hear some stories that tie the constellations together.  Can we use the stars to tell time?  Last, we’ll cover a few other things that are hiding out there. We will even see a star go supernova.

11  Title:  Astronomy Stargazing and Satellite Hunting  – After Sunset on Deck 

Come see satellites up in space, meteoroids, planets, stars, and constellations.  Learn how we know what’s up in the sky and how things work.  The location is TBD on deck, to see what we can see.  (weather permitting)
