THE PROJECT:

Mission Asteria: Creating the Lunar Outpost

We are entering a new era in space exploration, an era in which we will be headed “Back to the Moon, and on to Mars,” with an expected industry boom from a current $350 billion to an anticipated $1.1 TRILLION by the 2040’s! This kind of staggering growth will bring with it a slew of new jobs . . . jobs that have yet to be imagined! This Lunar Outpost Project will equip you to train the NEXT generation of scientists, engineers, and space explorers, sitting right in your classroom, for positions within the aerospace community! Through an immersive, project-based learning, educational experience, participants will embark on a journey to develop the very first Human Lunar Outpost, culminating in a presentation, shark-tank style, which will need to include ALL THINGS REQUIRED for a new space civilization!
