Planetfest attendees will see hands-on work taking place right there on the exhibit floor. Sternbach and his team will continue to work on the interior during Planetfest and will be available to chat with onlookers about their project. Some of the interior equipment, such as control panels, will be on display outside the capsule for easier viewing, and would-be astronauts can lie down on a crew couch and try it out for size. All share a common love of space exploration and the dream of one day sending humans to Mars, perhaps in a vehicle like the one they are now building. Tickets for Planetfest '97 may be purchased in advance from the Planetary Society at a discounted rate until June 15.
Discounts apply for seniors and children.
Registration prices will be higher after June 15 and at the door. Information on Planetfest '97 is now available at this web site in English and in Spanish . All rights reserved.
