The Great Adventure

As the second part of a trilogy on space exploration that began with the planetarium show “From Earth to the Moon”, the Eugenides Foundation’s latest production “The Great Adventure” highlights the exploration of our solar system and beyond that commenced just after the completion of the Apollo program. From the rigorous training needed to become an astronaut to the adverse conditions faced by astronauts when living and working in space in a microgravity environment, from the Salyut Space Station to the International Space Station and from the unmanned space probes we have sent to the furthest reaches of our Solar System to the space telescopes that have so greatly advanced our knowledge of the cosmos, the “Great Adventure” is a stunning audiovisual tour de force of “space: the final frontier” and a testament to the human spirit of exploration.
