Another Stealth Education Program

Welcome to the Fall 2006 NASA Quest Challenge!, NASA ARC

“This challenge is brought to you by the NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD). In order to prepare for exploration on the Moon and Mars, NASA utilizes sites on Earth to simulate living and working on extra-terrestrial surfaces. Students, primarily in grades 5 8, will be challenged to design and build a full- or scale-model of an Earth-based research station that will support living adaptively and working efficiently on the Moon.”

Editor’s note: I got an alert email about this tonight. Does ESMD link to this? No. Does NASA’s Education Office? No. Yet this is a national program for students – and ESMD is paying for it. Go figure.
