Explore: Blue Planet • Red Planet Advisory Committee

The concept of human exploration continues to fascinate and excite our guests. At the same time, new technologies developed by explorers and researchers continue to be adapted for every day use in solving problems related to living in many areas on Earth, where extreme temperatures and lack of water affect quality of life. We invited some of the country's most prominent experts in many areas of exploration to help us develop Explore: Blue Planet • Red Planet, an exhibit that will provide relevant and cutting-edge science content while allowing children and adults an open-ended and exciting way to learn about current and future opportunities for exploration. The Museum thanks the following committee members for volunteering their time and talents to this project.
