As NASA aims for Mars in the 2030s, the horizons of space travel are wide open! For high-profile clients, space travel engineers will be in demand.
Imagine you are a space travel engineer hired by a luxury space travel agency specializing in trips to Mars. A top celebrity client has come to the agency and is looking for the ultimate space travel adventure.
Your boss asks you to engineer an unforgettable experience. First, potential clients need to know that it is safe. Of primary concern is air to breathe!
STEP 1: Research online to come up with a sustainable way to ensure your customers will always have fresh air to breathe. [Hint: Think of the carbon cycle here on earth, and how that could be replicated in a space shuttle or planetary pod].
STEP 2: Once you have the basics, create a ‘menu of services’ that you will provide for this top celebrity client to win their business. Seven-course self-making liftoff meals? Rover with heated seats? YOU DECIDE!
STEP 3: Create an advertisement to spread the word. You can hand draw, or use a free technology tool like Canva.
STEP 4: Share your space travel ad in the Student Showcase to build your resume & show people the future of travel!
