The UK science outreach group Guerilla Science has created an exhibit, Intergalactic Travel Bureau, a mock travel agency to teach the public about spaceflight and planetary science. The group recently exhibited at the FIGMENT arts festival in New York.
The exhibit is presented as interactive theatre. "Say they want to take a cultural trip, we might suggest they go to Jupiter, where there are interesting artistic patterns in the atmosphere," said founder, physicist Mark Rosin. "If they're looking to go somewhere nice and sunny, we might suggest Mercury. If they prefer skating, there are other places with excellent conditions for that. We want to make this playful and interactive, with a lot of educational content."
The group is non-profit, and is seeking funding to support its activities:-
