Yes, who would had thought Mr. Sex, Drugs, & Rock N' Roll, Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx is a science freak.  Yes, he is and he had a blast mingling and learning from real deal rock stars, astronauts who walked the moon, Buzz Aldrin and NASA engineer and flight control.  Nikki Sixx got a kick, learning that commercial astronaut candidate/actor, Pete Freeland rocks Motley Crue's "Kick Start My Heart" each and every time Pete takes off flying.  Nikki Sixx had a blast, going fan boy over these scientists, astronauts, and space shuttle engineers.

Bill Nye the Science Guy was to be expected.  But, who would had thought Nikki Sixx went gaga over Bill Nye.

This was the purpose of "Apollo 11: The Immersive Live Show," having fun and rediscovering the joy and wonder of space flight and exploration while learning the back story of man's first walk on the moon, fifty years ago.  Not only did it relived the thrill for the former astronauts and engineers and brought back joys of childhood wonder for today's astronauts but today's kids discover the thrill and joy and wonder of space flight and exploration. 

Approaching the 50th anniversary of man’s first steps on the Moon next week, the time has come to tell one of the greatest stories in human history with Apollo 11: The Immersive Live Show, a play that invites audiences to go on an epic journey to the moon and back.

The story of the 400,000 individuals it took to accomplish this mission is told through the eyes of Ben, a retired NASA Aerospace Engineer, as he recounts those heady days to his granddaughter Sydney, who finds her eyes turning away from her smartphone and up to the sky as she dreams about the endless possibilities of space.

This celebration of one of mankind’s greatest achievements takes audiences of all ages on the ride of a lifetime and inspires future generations to imagine what comes next.

Staged in a groundbreaking, purpose-built venue, APOLLO 11 is a truly immersive live show performed by 20 actors under 40,000 square feet of stunning 360° video projection and brought to life by world-class theatre design, a full orchestral score and life-size rockets. 

All on the Rose Bowl's fairground, in the Lunar Dome.

The interactive special effects, at the stage play, had the audience woo-ing and awe-ing.

Don't want to give away the ending, y'all have come to the play to find out what happens.

However, Buzz Aldrin, the second man and the youngest man to set foot on the moon, used the finale to point out the importance of keeping space flight and exploration alive and well for today's contemporary society and youth, especially for today's kids to be tomorrow's astronauts and space flight pilots to further the mission and science and intergalatic discoveries.  Knowing today's financial budget and climate change due to growing global population, Buzz encourages that everyone, the Russians, the Chinese, and private businesses, like Elon Musk and Amazon's Jeff Bezo, to get together for the greater good and fund space flight to accomodate the growing human race and becoming better human beings through discovery and exploration.
