• Describe the daily lives of the future Lunar Colonists.
• Describe the exploration of the Moon in the next two missions.
• Discuss the natural resources we expect to mine on the Moon.
• Compare and contrast the Apollo Missions with the planned Missions.

We have also received a pledge for one free admission to the Space Camp at the Kansas Cosmoshpere for level 1(five days) astronaut training in Hutchinson, Kansas. We anticipate sending a K6-9 student to this all expenses paid trip in summer 2006. This student will be selected from those who submit a poster.
