NASA wants to know what people think about going to the Moon and eventually Mars, like when you're planning a big playdate, and you ask your friends what they want to do. So NASA seeks input on its Moon to Mars Objectives, which is like asking everyone: What should we bring? What should we do first?
How It Works
NASA asks people, kids, scientists, teachers, even astronauts!, to share their ideas. Sometimes they use online forms, sometimes they have contests or games where you can draw, write, or build something that shows what you think should happen next.
It's like when your teacher lets you vote on the class pet. You all get to say what you think is best, and NASA listens, just like how your teacher listens to you!
Why It Matters
When NASA gets lots of ideas from different people, it helps them decide what to do next. Maybe a kid’s drawing inspires a new way to explore the Moon! So everyone has a chance to be part of the big adventure, even if they're not astronauts.
Examples
- A kid suggests building a robot to help astronauts on the Moon.
- A community group sends in their idea for a new space station.
