Have you ever dreamed about what space is like?

According to Yahoo!, Arizonans can now live that dream at the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa.

The new interactive exhibit lets visitors explore what it’s like to be in low-Earth orbit.

“This exhibit is a magnificent way for children, especially, to be able to imagine what it is like for astronauts living in space,” said Kathy Eastman of the museum. “It brings to life what many children dream about when they look at the stars.”

NASA is planning more events in the Valley in 2013, including a space station awareness campaign.

We want to hear from you.
