MIDLAND — Space Explorers: THE INFINITE, an immersive theatrical experience inspired by NASA missions aboard the International Space Station will arrive in Midland for only four weeks beginning Jan 25.
The event is the first in the Midwest and only the sixth appearance in North America. It features 360-degree views of Earth and life in space using advanced virtual video technology.
Visitors will choose their own path through the ISS and into space, interacting with astronauts, learning about life and work aboard the station, seeing Earth from a whole new perspective, and even stepping out for their own spacewalk.
The journey is designed to engage patrons on a larger scale and position Midland as a destination for families, tourists and school groups throughout Michigan and the upper Midwest.
The Midland engagement of Space Explorers: THE INFINITE is sponsored by Members First Credit Union, MBS International Airport, and DuPont (who provide technology for NASA, including Ultra-thin DuPont™ Kapton® Polyimide Films to keep the Webb Telescope cool so that it can function properly in space).
Space Explorers: THE INFINITE is presented by INFINITY Experiences, a joint venture between Felix & Paul Studios and PHI Studio, known for creating large-scale immersive projects that revolutionize how visitors experience new extended reality (XR) environments.
