The centerpiece of the exhibit is the opportunity to touch a lunar rock sample brought to Earth by the astronauts of Apollo 17 in 1972, America's last human mission to the moon. The rock is one of only seven lunar samples in the world made available for the public to touch and feel.

As NASA continues to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Driven to Explore offers visitors a look at America's newest space exploration program, Constellation, destined to return humans to the moon and beyond. Visitors will enjoy educational imagery and models of Constellation's rockets and spacecraft being developed, and learn how and why America will return to the moon. The exhibit also details the accomplishments of the space shuttle and the International Space Station.

Interested media should contact Victor Scott at 281-483-4942 or victor.j.scott@nasa.gov.
