This summer, visitors to the Clinton Presidential Center can experience the way astronauts live and work in outer space. A new exhibit titled "Space: from the Moon to Mars" runs from June 6th through August 30th and features fascinating artifacts, models, and memorabilia from the Clinton Library's archives, NASA, and other aerospace institutions.

In addition to a variety of relics from the Space Race, the exhibit also includes an interactive replica of the Space Station MIR and Space Camp simulators donated from the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. FM 89's Malcolm Glover filed this report after taking a behind the scenes and out of this world tour of the new Space exhibit.

A look back at the 2008 Election on the ground in Arkansas.

More than one million voters in Arkansas cast ballots in the 2008 general election. State officials say a record of over 64 percent of the state’s 1.68 million registered voters cast ballots in the presidential contest alone. From early voting in the state, to voting on Election Day and parties on Election Night, I truly enjoyed talking with young voters about why this election is so important.

Election Night in Arkansas

Voting in Arkansas

Emotional highs and lows ran wild at Election Night watch parties in downtown Little Rock. President–elect Barack Obama’s Arkansas supporters could hardly contain their emotions when they became eyewitnesses to history last night. When Obama was declared the winner by CNN, tears began to stream down the faces of the young and the “young-at-heart” of all races, ethnicities and religious backgrounds in attendance at the “United for CHANGE” party.

However, a few blocks away from the Obama celebration, there was a more somber mood at the state G-O-P’s event. McCain/Palin supporters sat in the still and silent unease of defeat. MTV Street Team ’08’s Malcolm Glover filed this audio report.

The polls are open throughout Arkansas and this blog is your hub for all the interesting information, analysis,  video, commentary and excitement from young voters in my state. Stay plugged in throughout the day.

The “Dixie Days” celebration in North Little Rock, Arkansas has nothing to do with the Confederate flag or the Confederacy. The event is all about strengthening the black community in tough economic times.

Affectionately know as the “cul-de-sac across the track,” the community of Dixie Addition and its residents have faced crime, injustice, and economic inequality, but “Dixie Days” is one event that always lifts their spirits and brings people together.

Immigrants in Arkansas and their extended families face many challenges everyday. Like many Americans, immigrants also care about building safer communities, making sure their children get a good education, and they worry about the rising cost of health care and lack of good paying jobs.
