SUMMARY:Live Long and Way Late Play Date: The Final Fun-tier
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 24 | 7 - 10 pm | 21+Prepare to boldly go where cosmic curiosity has been headed for 60 years! Live Long and Way Late Play Date is a 21+ sci-fi celebration of Star Trek. This adults-only night transforms the Science Center into an interstellar playground of exploration\, experimentation\, and cosmic fun. RegistrationGet Tickets →   \n\n    \n\n Come in your finest outer space wear—channel iconic Trek characters or bring your own species to life. Red shirts\, beware: this mission is full of themed zones inspired by legendary adventures. Beyond the fandom fun\, discover how the vision of Starfleet mirrors today’s scientific missions—from Mars rovers to deep space telescopes. Engage with hands-on exhibits about astronomy\, engineering\, and the future of space travel. Whether you're a lifelong Trekker or just ready for a stellar night out\, this is your chance to experience science fiction\, science fact\, and social fun—all in one galaxy-class event. Secure your tickets today! >>Buy Tickets<<  Food & Drink available for purchase: Romulan Ale & Cosmic Cocktails provided by: Rosemary & Beauty QueenFood Trucks: The Steaming GoatAll are reminded: face paint is approved. Full face masks interfere with identification protocols and are not permitted on deck. Timed ActivitiesTimed activities have limited capacity.  Consider attending an early show or line up early to grab your spot.   Sudekum PlanetariumPlanetarium Show: Incoming — 7:30 pm\, 8:30 pm\, 9:30 pm  George Takei narrates the hard-hitting stories about how asteroids and comets have collided with our planet throughout history\, changed the course of life on Earth\, and shaped the world we know today.   Eureka TheaterLive Science Show —  8:00 pm\, 8:45 pm\, 9:15 pm Can you guess what Star Trek species these science experiments represent?  Jack Wood HallStarfleet Academy Talks:Prepare for First Contact: The Kardashev Scale & the Search for Vulcan — 7:45 pm  Speaker: Olivia Greene\, Ph.D.\, Astrophysicist of The Neuroverse Initiative  Black Hole Crash Course — 8:30 pm Speakers: Vanderbilt Graduate & Doctoral Candidates in Physics & Astronomy   Europa: Barren Wasteland or Inhabited Ocean? — 9:00 pm  Speaker: Olivia Greene\, Ph.D.\, Astrophysicist of The Neuroverse Initiative   Open ActivitiesUSS Athena: The Starfleet Command has taken up residence and is here to thrill you with costumes\, memorabilia\, and the magic of Star Trek  Into the Unknown: Meet NASA Ambassador Chuck Schlemm and learn about NASA and commercial spacecraft and missions into the near and far reaches of space.  Quark’s Bar Dabo: Spin to win tickets to Galaxy Con coming to Nashville May 29-31 and join fans from across the galaxy and celebrate Comic Books\, Pop Culture\, Sci-Fi\, Fantasy\, Anime\, Gaming\, Cosplay\, and more!   Trek Phaser Challenge: This game will test your accuracy and precision. Are you a Sulu or a Worf?    Starfleet Science Desk: Stop and “beam” your out-of-this-world questions to the Spock of our community; the students of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University. Geordi VISOR Eye Exam Station: Spectroscopy is a critical sensor technology that bridges real-world science with science fiction.  Like Geordi\, slip on these diffraction glasses and try to identify the gas inside the plasma tubes  Borg Geometry Challenge: In the pursuit of perfection\, one only needs to look to BUBBLES.  Make a geometric bubble wand and see how the bubble solution achieves perfect symmetry.  Tardigrade Examination: A tardigrade (aka water bear) was once captured by the USS Discovery.  Exam these indestructible life forms under a microscope and attempt to determine how they can survive the most extreme conditions like dehydration\, freezing temperatures\, and radiation.   Mushroom Brick Building: The USS Discovery utilizes experimental “spore drive” to enable instantaneous travel.  See the real-life science behind mycology and the potential of fungi in bioremediation.  Suliban Cloaking Device: Scientists have engineered invisibility cloaks using passive optical devices to bend light.  Step behind the shield and experience the warping skills of a Suilban.  Vulcan Lute: Like the Vulcan Lute\, the theremin produces haunting\, ethereal tones meant to feel alien and futuristic.  Stop by and create a melody worthy of Spock’s admiration.    Frontier Past Times: Enjoy a quick game of tri-dimensional chess or poker and challenge your Vulcan skill of logic with a host of brain teasing puzzles.   Starfleet Badge Credentialing: Use space-age polymers to create your own Starfleet delta. This project takes sheer human brain power and creative skills to produce. No replicators allowed!  Interested in volunteering for this event? Sign up here!
