Journey to Space at Fernbank Museum “This exhibit is giant problem-solving experience,” Fernbank Museum of Natural History’s Sarah Arnold told WSB-TV’s Nelson Hicks. “It asks the questions, ‘How do we explore space. How do get there? Once we get there, what are the hazards that we have to worry about? Once we figure out how to protect ourselves, how do we get people into space and let them live there so that we can do research and hopefully, research, get further and further out into the solar system.’” (Nelson Hicks)

Journey to Space at Fernbank Museum “How do you season your food?” Arnold questioned. “You can’t use salt in space because everything floats. So if you have a bunch of salt crystals floating around, it gets in your air systems, it gets into your eyes. So how do you season it? You use salt water. So, a lot of thought has to go into feeding people and giving them similar options to what they might have on Earth.” (Nelson Hicks)
