The exhibition was housed in a specially designed trailer that was transported to various cities across the United States. The trailer was equipped with interactive displays, artifacts, and multimedia presentations that allowed visitors to learn about the history of the Space Shuttle program, the science behind space exploration, and the people who made it all possible.
