Three, two, one ... blast off!  Flight School lifts off again. The third of four live and interactive electronic field trips, Blast Off!!! will examine the history of rocket-propelled flight, the space race, lunar landing, and the space shuttle program.  Along the way, we’ll learn about the pioneering men and women who made the dream of space flight possible, meet astronauts, find out about the science of piloting a space craft, and much more.

During the 1950s, the Cold War ignited a race to space between the United States and the Soviet Union.  Once people learned how to fly higher, faster, and farther than ever before, humanity took the next step and successfully sent astronauts to the moon and back home again.  Join us as we explore these first steps into the final frontier.
