SUMMARY:Movie: Moonbase: The Next Step
DESCRIPTION:MOONBASE: The Next Step\nIt’s been more than 50 years since humankind last set foot on the Moon. Now\, we are going back to stay. \n“Moonbase: The Next Step” is the story of this human endeavor – the mission to develop a sustained\, strategic presence on the moon in the next 10 years. \nDiscover the scientific and technological advances needed to safely travel 250\,000 miles and survive the hostile conditions of reduced gravity\, extreme temperatures and toxic lunar dust. Enjoy an immersive experience as we dock\, land and explore the vast lunar landscape using 3D animations and photo-real ‘point-of-view’ visuals. Can we extract water and minerals and grow food to live there on a more permanent basis? Follow this multinational story in “Moonbase: The Next Step.” \nOffered in 2D.  \nBUY TICKETS TO MOONBASE
