Since the beginning of time, people have gazed upward at the night sky in fascination. But most people don’t realize what is up there or how much our modern way of life depends on the thousands of satellites that fly around our planet. Orbiting the Earth are satellites that allow us to communicate with each other, monitor the weather, help us get to where we’re going and keep our country safe. Always Above explores how close space is to our daily lives and the role that the U.S. Space Force plays in launching, operating and defending these assets. This 12-minute, visually stunning journey will take audiences from the depths of the ocean to thousands of miles into space. Always Above is an inspiring, educational experience for people of all ages who have ever looked to the skies and asked, “What’s up there?” Access to this show is free with general admission.
