Join experts from the Earth & Planets Laboratory for Mission Matchmaker, an interactive game where space exploration meets the thrill of discovery. Part The Dating Game, part Choose Your Own Adventure, this audience-driven experience puts contestants in charge of designing a space mission—without knowing exactly where they're going. Here’s the twist: the target stays anonymous.
Contestants will choose between three secret celestial candidates by asking smart questions, weighing clues, and trusting their instincts. Is your perfect match a moon? A planet? An asteroid? Or something even more exotic? Make your selections. Commit to a mission. Then reveal your cosmic match and see how well you chose. Mission Matchmaker is playful and packed with real planetary science—proving that in space exploration, just like dating, the questions you ask matter as much as the answers you get. Are you ready to commit to a destination you’ve never met?
