I would like to develop a collaboration of educators (in-service, pre-service and in residence) as well as current researchers and engineers in the field of Space science in an initiative that would envision the future of life in space. We could link small schools to urban centers and nano science centers to the stars. Balloon launches into near space partnered with straw rocket launches and a simulated NASA mission control center would allow us to explore space without leaving the earth! Working together we will find a variety of ways to move today’s explorations into the hands of tomorrows researchers.
