What rocket designs might one day conquer the voids of space?“Faster Than Light: the Dream of Interstellar Flight” dazzles audiences with virtual rides aboard spacecraft of the future. They are based on whole new technologies designed to achieve ultra-high speeds, using exotic next generation rocket fuels and breakthrough concepts in physics. How far can our technology take us?

• Please Note: Tickets are for one show at the date and time specified above. All seats are general admission with no assigned seat numbers. For best seat selection, it's a good idea to arrive early. For the safety of our visitors and in order to prevent accidents, late entry is not allowed. Likewise, once a show has started, if you leave the planetarium for any reason, re-entry is not allowed due to safety regulations in the darkened environment.

• Please Note: When purchasing online tickets with a credit card, a small fee is added to the ticket price by the company that does the processing; in other words, not by the college or planetarium. One benefit of purchasing online is the convenience of having guaranteed tickets in case of a sold-out show.
