An out-of-this-world event is landing in Colorado next month.

The crew of Artemis II will be at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Aug. 3 for an event that will celebrate the Rocky Mountain region’s contribution to their mission around the dark side of the moon, the venue announced on social media.

The event will include highlights from the mission and an interactive Q&A session with the crew members, organizers said.

The crew of Artemis II included three Americans, Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover and Christina Koch, and Canada’s Jeremy Hansen. The 10-day mission saw the astronauts travel about 685,000 miles — farther from Earth than any other humans in history.

Tickets and parking are just $1 all-in and will be available starting Friday, July 17 at noon.
