Event Details

As the nation looks ahead to America250 and reflects on 250 years of exploration, innovation, and bold new frontiers, the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library welcomes the National Space Society of North Texas (NSS-NT) for a celebration of America’s next great chapter: space.

Marking major milestones in the history of space travel — and the incredible future ahead — this program highlights 65 years of humans journeying beyond Earth, reusable rockets, astronauts returning to the Moon, and the path toward living on Mars. It’s one of the most exciting eras ever for space exploration. Come experience the energy and vision of NSS-NT as they bring the story of America’s space future to life at the Central Library.

This Business, Science & Techology program is part of Dallas Public Library's 250 Years of Us: Reading America's Past, Writing Our Future.

Dive into the past all year long, as we host programs, exhibits and book clubs that explore how our nation’s history has shaped American democracy today. Anyone can join our Amazing Race for Independence challenge and win Dallas Mavericks or Wings tickets, State Park passes and more!
