Join Boeing and Discovery Education on a mission to inspire the world through aerospace innovation with an exclusive virtual field trip to historic Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. This behind-the-scenes tour will introduce students to Boeing employees who are writing the next chapter of space history. They will reveal some of the unexpected steps taken towards the launch of the Starliner/CST-100 spacecraft and the deployment of the Space Launch System (SLS), and will uncover how both of these missions are critical to the future of the International Space Station (ISS).
