NASA’s October 30 announcement describes activities spread across several locations, including the air-show and summit areas, the visitor complex and the agency’s press site. A listing in the media programme should not be treated as a promise that every location is open to every visitor.
NASA’s visitor page says tickets are required for each of the three park experiences, with separate ticketing for Air Dot Show, UP.Summit and Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Visitors should choose the parks they intend to enter and use the official event page to reach the appropriate ticket and access information.
The published timetable includes a Friday afternoon media preview, followed by the November 7–8 weekend programme. The Moon Base news conference is a scheduled briefing; its listing does not itself announce that a new lunar facility has been built.
For Sunday, NASA lists an X-59 media session and a student-challenge announcement. These are planned programme items. Visitors should recheck official event information before leaving, as NASA explicitly says times may change.
