The Astrophonics

Experience “Spaceship Earth, ” a unique music and multimedia event that tells the story of space exploration —up to the historic Apollo 11 mission —through the eyes of the Armstrong family.

Mark Armstrong, son of the legendary first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, and his granddaughter Kali Armstrong, together with their band, The Astrophonics, present a thought-provoking and entertaining show. They combine personal anecdotes and original video footage from the family archive with a powerful musical program.

Musical Crossover: From Rock Anthems to Environmental Messages

The "Spaceship Earth" repertoire is a masterful crossover that combines original compositions with timeless rock classics. Look forward to music by icons such as:

Pink Floyd
Queen
PPeter Gabriel
David Bowie
Coldplay

This musical selection, performed by the Astrophonics in their full lineup, creates the perfect emotional backdrop for the story.

Our Responsibility for the “Vulnerable Blue Planet”

The Armstrong family’s primary goal is to raise awareness of our fragile “Spaceship Earth.” From the perspective of space, as Neil Armstrong experienced it, our home does not appear infinite, but rather as a vulnerable, blue sphere. The show powerfully conveys our global responsibility for this fragile environmental system.
