To the Moon and Beyond, an educational game teaching how International Space Station research is helping us on Earth and getting us to the Moon and beyond
(MSC-26821-1)
Overview
The International Space Station is a state-of-the-art microgravity laboratory that is unlocking discoveries not possible on Earth, and is helping us push farther into deep space. Microgravity turns almost everything we know upside down. Liquids behave completely differently, fire burns in new ways. Biological systems reveal surprises. Were learning how human bodies react to life in space, and how to keep crew members safe and strong on long-duration exploration missions. The station enables us to develop new ways to grow food in microgravity and test technologies that could hold the key to better, safer space travel. Microgravity is allowing us to find new ways to combat disease back on Earth. Our research is contributing to medical and social benefits on our home planet, as well as stimulating a growing space economy. The vantage point of 240 miles up gives us spectacular opportunities for studying our planet. Were inspiring future generations from a platform that is one of the largest international collaborations of our time.This is your space program. You determine what research to fund on the ISS and what projects you want to fund back on Earth. Conducting research on the ISS can reduce the cost of some projects or give you the ability to do others. Results from the projects you fund determine you budget for the next year. Everything you do affects the outcome of your eight part program. But beware, events can happen that can influence that outcome. Will you be able to complete all of your eight mission objectives in four short years?
