EXPLORATION"
NASA's challenge to explore the moon, Mars and beyond has
created excitement in the tree house. The detectives are setting
off to Space Camp to learn what it takes to become space
explorers.
On their journey to learn about future crewed and robotic
missions, the six tree house detectives will visit NASA's Marshall
Space Flight Center in Alabama, Johnson Space Center in Texas. Ames
Research Center in California, and the University of California, at
Santa Barbara.
