How does it feel to launch toward space and break free of the earth’s atmosphere? What do booster rockets do, and why do they release back to earth when they do? Kids can learn answers to these questions and more from a real astronaut.

Astronaut Leland Melvin explores both the experience of and the science behind one of mankind’s greatest achievements: rocket launches to space.

Having been an NFL player and a NASA astronaut, Leland Melvin is uniquely suited to talk to students about dream jobs. Since the road he traveled wasn’t direct or easy, Melvin is now devoted to helping students discover a love for science and the grit to pursue their dreams.

All ages welcome, (best for grades K-8).
