KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Students at Ralph Bunche Middle School, a NASA Explorer School, in Atlanta, Ga., listen intently to Center Director Jim Kennedy’s presentation. Kennedy is visiting NES sites to share America’s new vision for space exploration with the next generation of explorers. He was accompanied by astronaut Rick Linnehan on the visit. The purpose of the school visit is to talk with students about our destiny as explorers, NASA’s stepping stone approach to exploring Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond, how space impacts our lives, and how people and machines rely on each other in space.
