Return to the Moon
Crew Training Activities
Lunar Rock Hounds
Ever wondered what the Apollo astronauts found on the moon? In this tempting
simulation, family teams will create edible models of three basic rock
types as they undertake geological training together in preparation for
the mission. An appreciation for the moon's history will evolve as you
delve into its "hot" past.
Mine or Yours?
Working as a Lunar Geology Research Team, family teams will use two specific
granola bars to analyze the source and characteristics of different lunar
minerals. When the Team is finished with their scientific research to
determine whose site is better as a target for mining by a future lunar
colony, they may enjoy "eating the evidence."
Lunar Olympics
Just like John Glenn, your astronaut crew will need to emphasize physical
fitness during crew training. This active simulation will have family
teams testing their physical skills as they compare activities they may
enjoy recreationally on Earth to those that may be possible in the 1/6th
gravity on the moon.
