Journey on to the dark ages … King Arthur and the Vikings, Medieval Britain, castles and jousting. Actors and models performing in time, illustrating the rich history of these islands over 2000 years. Shakespeare plays, Newton and the men of science, 17th and 18th century life. See the industrial revolution with iron and glass buildings, Brunell and others, great explorers and more, into the present day.

Continue your journey into the future through the science exhibition halls to the space centre. Go for launch - take the white-knuckle spaceship ride on the Earth orbitor, twist and loop in earth orbit. Dive through a black hole and go for Mars orbit - a barren red planet devoid of life - return to earth - a jewel set in a sea of darkness.

In the book of Revelation there were four horseman and seven seals…. The seventh revealed the balance and our choice. Do we heed the horsemen …. and preserve our priceless Earth or is Martian desolation to be our fate?
