Achievements in Engineering #14, Period 2 Monday

[mike-cannon.livejournal.com]

Once again, class met in the Danger Shop. Mike waited for everyone to arrive before launching into an explanation of the simulation. "This week marks the 36th anniversary of Apollo 17, the last manned mission to the moon," he began. "Now, I'm sure that you kids from the future or alternate universes probably travel to the moon every day, but in this time period, it's pretty rare. As of 2008, only 12 humans have walked on the surface of the moon and the last of those was Eugene Cernan, commander of Apollo 17. It is a feat that no one has accomplished since."

Mike passed around the usual handouts before proceeding. "Today, we're going to walk in the steps of the Apollo astronauts. We'll visit a simulation of the Taurus-Littrow Valley and explore the Lunar Module. Oh, and there's also a Lunar rover available if anyone wants to take it for a spin."

Naomi took down notes, she liked learning about the moon from this time period. It was extremely different to how it was in her time.

Jen had taken a few family vacations to the moon as a kid, but that was different from reliving the first mission to the moon. Someone was looking highly undignified as she tried very hard not to squeal out loud.
