Plus, pick up signed copies of Garan’s books Railroad to the Moon, The Orbital Perspective, and Floating in Darkness—A Journey of Evolution, take part in special workshops and storytimes, observe the Sun with solar telescopes (weather permitting), and experience the planetarium show Moonbase: The Next Step.
