Your Mission

You are on a NASA mission during the weeks 2-8. You are on a journey through space. During your trip you will explore space and report to our station on Earth. You will learn and share information about the moon, the Sun, planets, stars, asteroids and other celestial objects that you might come across. At the end of the project you will of course make a full report on your experiences. Destination unknown. You decide.
