You enter a space station corridor where planets and galaxies glimmer from portholes to outer space. Suddenly you emerge into a futuristic visitor center to the universe. There, you encounter a Martian landscape. Researchers are studying star evolution, planetary orbits, and the science of light. A giant screen broadcasts live footage from a NASA mission. Is this 2003, Denver, planet Earth? No, it's Space Odyssey, where you become a space scientist and the universe becomes your lab.
