After multiple sell-out tours of My Journey to Space, Tim Peake makes a return voyage across the UK with his stellar new show ‘Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space’.
With only 610 people having ever been beyond Earth’s orbit, nobody is more qualified than Tim to celebrate the historic achievements and human endeavours of space exploration. In this brand new show, Tim will share the collected stories of some of his fellow astronauts and explore the spectacular evolution of space travel.
As Tim recounts the awe-inspiring endeavours of astronauts across the ages, he’ll reveal what spaceflight is truly like: from the wondrous view of Earth, living in weightlessness, the unique dangers and unexpected moments of humour, to the years of training and psychological and physical pressures that an astronaut has to take on.
The journey has only just begun… come and join Tim for this first-of-its-kind show, launching from Beacon Hall in 2024.
