According to NASA, thousands gathered over several days in early November to experience MAX POWER – NASA’s first exhibition of America’s superiority in space, aeronautics, and technology on and around the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The multi-day, family-friendly event honored the nation’s 250th anniversary and served as a culmination of the agency’s Inspiration Tour.
In the full text published on its website, NASA wrote: “Among the many highlights, NASA welcomed President Donald J. Trump to MAX POWER, which featured flyovers and a skydive from NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, and announced a new X-plane, astronaut candidate recruitment, a student Moon Base challenge, and discussed the agency’s latest lunar exploration plans.
“‘It was a great week at NASA Kennedy, where we were joined by the President and federal, state, international, and industry leaders,’ said Isaacman. ‘During our nation’s 250th birthday, the year of Artemis II’s voyage around the Moon, we were thrilled to invite the public out to see the rockets, the landers, the rovers, and the technology that will return astronauts to the lunar surface and build the base, not to mention witness a wonderful airshow that included NASA research aircraft and was headlined by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.’
“Through multiple park experiences, NASA and external collaborators at UP.Summit, Air Dot Show, Purpose Entertainment, and Delaware North each hosted a variety of private and public events Nov. 4-8. Teams showcased the newest aircraft, rovers, autonomous vehicles, and technologies defining the future of air and space. Astronauts, scientists, engineers, pilots, and subject matter experts were on hand for a variety of moderated discussions, appearances, and more.”
