Intergalactic Travel Bureau
ORAL
Abstract
The Intergalactic Travel Bureau is an interactive theater outreach experience that engages the public in the incredible possibilities of space tourism. The Bureau is staffed by professional actors, who play the role of space travel agents, and professional astrophysicists, who play the role of resident scientists. Members of the public of all ages were invited to visit with bureau staff to plan the vacation of their dreams--to space. We describe the project's successful nine day run in New York in August 2013.
*Funded by the American Physical Society Public Outreach and Informing the Public Grants
