An unforgettable night at the West Charleston Library. 🚀✨

Our Reach for the Stars event brought the community together for an evening of inspiration, curiosity, and hands-on fun. Guests had the chance to meet retired U.S. Navy Captain and former astronaut Scott Altman, hear about his incredible journey to NASA, and even learn about his role helping repair the Hubble Space Telescope (plus a pretty cool connection to Top Gun 👀).

From autographs to Q&A, it was a night our community won’t forget.

Huge thank you to our sponsors, Las Vegas-Clark County Library District and Arcata Associates, Inc, for making this event possible. And a special shoutout to STEM For Nevada for bringing some seriously cool space gear for everyone to explore.

Here’s to dreaming big and reaching for the stars. 🌟
