Be the spark
The first person who will set foot on Mars is now in middle school.
She may be visiting the National Air and Space Museum today, where an encounter with the Wright Flyer or the Mars Curiosity Rover could set her on an unimaginable journey—just as it has for countless pilots, explorers, and visionaries.
You can make her journey a reality.
The Mission
With your help, we will reimagine America’s favorite museum to inspire a new generation of pioneers and explorers.
Every artifact at the museum contains the potential to spark curiosity, fuel imagination, and unleash limitless wonder.
