Artemis and SpaceX, flying cars, electric airplanes, space tourism, and Artificial Intelligence in the ever-evolving landscape of technology. Over the coming months and years, the Cradle of Aviation Museum’s ongoing series, The Future is Now, will feature air and space exhibits, educational programs, events, and planetarium shows, all designed to educate, inform, inspire, and continue the legacy of Long Island’s aerospace heritage of discovery.
In celebrating the latest reprise of its ongoing series, the Museum recently hosted a film preview and cocktail reception for its new film, Cities of the Future, and the opening of its companion exhibit, Engineering the Future, which showcases the mind-bending technology transforming how we will live and move.
From hyperloops and drones, Engineering the Future is an inspiring, dynamic, and interactive exhibit that explores next-generation vehicles, urban utopias, and the most innovative technologies shaping our cities and the future. The exhibit is free with museum admission.
Cities of the Future, presented by the Haugland Group at the Cradle of Aviation Museum’s planetarium and full-dome theater, highlights the visionary solutions engineers are developing to meet the pressing challenges of a changing world and forge a brighter, more sustainable future. Narrated by award-winning actor John Krasinski, the film integrates state-of-the-art Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) with live-action IMAX cinematography that unveils the profound changes already occurring in some of the world’s great cities.
Cities of the Future offers an inspiring vision of how we might live 50 years from now, from electric flying cars and aerial highways to smart buildings, greener infrastructure, and the revolutionary concept of beaming solar energy down from space.
