About this book
When Kids Take Over NASA follows five students Grant, Christina, Kendall, Tica, and Jeremy aged 11 to 17, who embark on a class project to propose ways to relaunch America's space program after the shuttle program ends. Using an ex-employee's key, they gain unauthorized entry into the closed Johnson Space Center in Houston, where they explore the facility and develop a plan to get the United States back into space. The narrative depicts the technical obstacles the students face while trying to revive a mothballed space center and shows their persistence in turning their proposals into action.
