Space stations have evolved dramatically since Wernher von Braun’s wheel concept from the Disney special "Man in Space". Why does the International Space Station look so different? Join space history curator Michael Neufeld as he compares von Braun's space station model with the actual space station orbiting the Earth right now.
Meet at the Museum "Great Seal", in the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall on the first floor.
About the Ask an Expert lecture series: Every Wednesday at noon in the National Mall Building, a Museum staff member talks to the public about the history, collection, or personalities related to a specific artifact or exhibition in the Museum.
