New on the Space Place Web Site: Let's Go to the Moon

We have a wonderful new activity on the Space Place web site. I am
attaching a short announcement about the new activity. I encourage you to
either e-mail it, or print, photocopy, and mail it to the educators with
whom you work.

NASA¹s latest plans to return to the Moon are a lot more ambitious in many
ways than was the Apollo Program in the OE60s and OE70s. This time, we plan to
stay a while. NASA wants to learn how to keep the astronauts alive in a
hostile environment for months at a time, so we will someday be able to send
humans to Mars and beyond! Designing a lunar habitat is part of the
challenge. Kids can help to create a lunar outpost by building their own
Moon Habitat, or even a whole village of them! This fun activity that can
involve the whole family can be found at NASA¹s website for kids, The Space
Place, http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/exploration/habitat.
