Artemis II astronauts coming to Colorado, will share stories from voyage around the moon at Red Rocks
An event is coming up at Red Rocks Amphitheatre next month that's expected to be popular for Coloradans who are interested in space travel.
NASA's Artemis II astronauts will present highlights from their historic 700,000 mile mission that took place in April. It will feature astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen.
They'll speak to the audience about their voyage around the moon, viewing a solar eclipse in deep space and the splashdown in the Pacific Ocean in the Orion capsule. This spring, the group traveled farther from Earth than any other humans ever have. They also got a close-up look at the moon's far side.
The astronauts will share behind the scenes footage from the mission and take questions from the Colorado crowd.
The event takes place in the morning on Monday, Aug. 3. Tickets are free but there is a minimal processing fee of $1 per ticket. They go on sale at noon on Friday and are available through axs.com.
