Background
»Hurrah ! Hurrah!« exclaimed Michel Ardan and Nicholl in one voice. Indeed, this thick darkness proved that the projectile had left the earth, for the soil, brilliantly lit by the moonbeams, would have been visible to the travellers, if they had been lying on its surface. This darkness also showed that the projectile had passed the atmospheric strata, for the diffused light spread in the air would have been reflected on the metal walls, which reflection was wanting. This light would have lit the window, and the window was dark. Doubt was no longer possible; the travellers had left the earth. (Jules Verne, Around the Moon, 1869)
The special exhibition „Up to Space“ at the Universum® Bremen presents the future and present state of astronautical space travel. Virtual journeys into space and to the moon, everyday-life at the International Space Station (ISS), real moon dust, and the sensation of zero gravity can be experienced during a visit to the exhibition. Interactive exhibits facilitate the learning experience. The aesthetic materials, coloured lights, and real space technology create an atmosphere, in which the boundaries between exhibition and its visitors vanish. They are being sent on a journey to space and back. From Bremen, the exhibition will travel to the Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace in Paris.
