Return to the Moon: Lunar Living & Leisure

How will you design your mission to the moon? When you get there, the lander will support you for about three months. Can you build a habitat in that timeframe with limited fuel? Explore your environment: What sports could moon colonists enjoy in 1/6^th gravity, and how would you have to change the sport? Examine (simulated) moon rocks; how KREEP-y are they? How can we work with other countries to test the physics of toys in space? Create your own rescue robot (using LEGO® robotic materials) to avoid craters. Use the scientific method to bust myths about space. Build and launch your own rocket.
