The aim of the
Helping Kids Reach for the Stars
program is to give kids the exciting opportunity to build and launch a solid-fuel powered model rocket. This will generate an interest in learning and foster a greater understanding of the challenges faced by scientists in achieving their goals. We are excited to be affiliated with
Vanguard Spacecraft's Steve McGrath
- designer of the
X-PRIZE Eagle

The 2007
World Space Expo
was an amazing event. We are thrilled to be returning annually to the
Astronaut Hall of Fame
with the national winners of the
Reach for the Stars Rocket Competition
. What an inspiration it will be for everyone involved!
Steve
was kind enough to allow us to join him at his table at the
World Space Expo
at
Kennedy Space Center-Visitors Complex
. His support has been invaluable.
