KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - A teacher (right) at Ralph Bunche Middle School, a NASA Explorer School, in Atlanta, Ga., shows a science project to astronaut Rick Linnehan (left) and Center Director Jim Kennedy (center). Linnehan and Kennedy were at the school to share America’s new vision for space exploration with the next generation of explorers. The visit is one of many Kennedy has made to NES sites in Florida and Georgia 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.
