"Journey To Space," narrated by actor Patrick Stewart, is now playing at NASA visitor centers, space museums and science centers across the U.S., with more venues being added weekly. The large-format movie, co-produced by K2 and Giant Screen Films, showcases NASA's plans for the future of spaceflight, including landing astronauts on Mars.

"Now we are fashioning vessels to set off on our greatest adventure of exploration ever, to Mars and beyond," says Stewart, who played Star Trek's Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, in the opening moments of "Journey To Space."

The 3D film, sponsored by Toyota and Boeing, premiered at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC earlier this month. In addition to Stewart, "Journey To Space" features the voices of former and present NASA astronauts, including Chris Ferguson, the final commander of the space shuttle, and Serena Aunon, a physician and engineer currently waiting her first mission assignment.
