While science focuses on discovering things about our natural world, engineering and invention is a purely human endeavor. It requires innovation, teamwork, experimentation, planning, and patience. By featuring real NASA missions that highlight the extreme nature of space engineering, the goal of the Museum of Science's planetarium show is to get middle school students and the general public excited about spacecraft engineering and interested in the engineering process. The five major aspects of a mission lifecycle鈥攄esign, construction, testing, launch, and operations鈥攁re highlighted through examples of NASA missions, including the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the James Webb Space Telescope. Each of the show鈥檚 three sections starts with a setup question that defines the 鈥減roblem鈥� that an engineering team aims to solve, giving audiences a balanced, large-scale overview of spacecraft engineering, described contextually using exciting, real-life projects. The show鈥檚 major themes include problem solving to cope with expected鈥攁nd unexpected鈥攃hallenges, the importance of advance planning and testing, learning from mistakes, and working with a team.
