International Space Station: An Interactive Space Exploration Adventure

by Allison Lassieur

Overview

We’ve sent a man to the moon, but…..can human beings live in space? A global team of engineers and scientists combined forces to design and create a space station so that we could find out. You’ve always been excited by the idea of space exploration. Space jobs can be difficult, or downright dangerous. Do you have what it takes to join the crew? You can be a systems engineer and design the robots, fly to the station as a shuttle astronaut, or even live on the completed station. Will you make the cut?
