If seeing replicas of the spacecrafts that have helped humans orbit the earth and displays of stylish space jumpsuits and yucky space food lifts your inner-astronaut spirit, NASA - A Human Adventure Exhibition may be the best place in town for you to indulge your space-geek habit.

In cooperation with NASA, 350 space exploration-related objects are featured in the exhibition currently held in Bangkok.
The exhibition opened yesterday at Central Ladprao with a special appearance by Brig. Gen. Charles Duke, the tenth person to walk on the moon.

"To become an astronaut, it takes dedication, physical training and motivation," he advised the children in the audience who dream of flying into space.

The first thing visitors encounter at the exhibition is “The Globe”, which is a circular screen that allows 360-degree views of the interactive space display via a telescope. Circling through the sky, the sun and planets of our solar system come with handy descriptions, similar to a gaming experience.
