Capcom Go!
Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. from November 29 through December 20
On July 20th, 1969, 600 million people worldwide gathered to witness a historic moment of human achievement broadcast live from the Moon.
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” -Neil Armstrong.
The world celebrated as the astronauts took their first steps on the Moon. But few people were aware of just how huge an effort it had taken to get them there. These Apollo 11 astronauts were just 2 of nearly 400,000 people who worked over ten years towards this goal. But how did they do it? What did it take to put humans on the Moon?

Dark Side of the Moon
Saturdays at 7:00 p.m. from November 29 through December 20
Pink Floyd’s iconic album ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon,’ originally released in March 1973, turns 50, and what more fitting a place to celebrate it and experience it than in a Planetarium, through the music set to visuals? With the help of modern technology, the idea of a show combining breathtaking views of the solar system and beyond, played out to 42 minutes of The Dark Side Of The Moon in surround sound, has been embraced by the band. NSC Creative has led the visual production efforts, working closely with Pink Floyd’s long-time creative collaborator Aubrey Powell from Hipgnosis.
Each song has a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history, all relating to a time and space experience, embracing up-to-the-minute technology that only a Planetarium can offer. A truly immersive and all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience. Watch the trailer.
Runtime: 45 minutes
