Cast and crew members from Back to the Future: The Musical learned how NASA is tackling challenges and preparing for future missions during a tour at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland on July 1.

The tour included stops at the Icing Research Tunnel (IRT), where technicians test the effects of icing conditions on aircraft, and the Simulated Lunar Operations Lab, an indoor laboratory that mimics lunar and planetary surface operations.
