In November, former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly will bring his year among the stars to Adelaide — not as spectacle, but as testimony. Having spent 340 days aboard the International Space Station, orbiting Earth more than 8,000 times across 140 million miles, Kelly carries firsthand knowledge of what human endurance looks like at its outermost edge. As the Artemis program accelerates humanity's return to the Moon and eyes toward Mars, his live tour across five Australian cities arrives less as entertainment and more as a reckoning with what the next chapter of our species will truly demand.
