Launching Dreams from the Heart of Silicon Valley
At the intersection of innovation and imagination lies Cupertino, home to tech giants, top-tier schools, and some of the brightest young minds in the country. It's here, in the heart of Silicon Valley, that Galactic Getaway has placed one of its most exciting and thought-provoking rocket model displays to date.
And it's more than just a beautiful exhibit – it's a powerful spark for the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers, empowering curiosity, creativity, and bold dreams.
How Our Rocket Display Is Fueling the Future of Space Exploration
Walking into the Cupertino Library, visitors are greeted by striking metallic models of NASA's Space Launch System, SpaceX's Starship, Blue Origin's New Glenn, and other next-gen rockets. But beyond the awe and aesthetics lies a powerful purpose: to ignite curiosity in a region already known for shaping the future.
Students growing up in high-performing school districts like Cupertino are surrounded by achievement, but also by pressure and competition. Our display reminds them that exploration isn't just about grades or tests, it's about wonder, discovery, and the drive to go beyond the known. It's a call to see science not as a subject, but as a mission.
What We Exhibit
- Six next-generation rockets including Starship, SLS, Vulcan Centaur, Neutron, Falcon Heavy, and New Glenn
- High-fidelity 1:144 scale models not yet seen in public museums
- Engaging explanations about engines, fuels, and missions for each rocket
- A fun comparison of "How many Cybertrucks can these rockets carry?"
By anchoring our display in such a high-impact environment, we aim to do more than inform, we aim to inspire. Because the next breakthrough in space exploration might just begin with a 10-year-old staring up at a model rocket, dreaming of what's next. And in Silicon Valley, that dream can become reality.
Bring the Display to Your Community
We're now scheduling 2–4 week rotations of our display box at local libraries, schools, museums and community centers – at no cost. Want to bring Galactic Getaway to your town?
Thank you to the Santa Clara County Library District and to Bryant Bao, Cupertino Library's Community Librarian, for the incredible opportunity to share our mission. The future of space belongs to those who dare to dream – and at Cupertino, we've had the chance to meet so many young minds ready to reach for the stars.
