Every Rocket Kid needs to be able to perform his or her duties on the ship. This simulation test ship will provide you with all the essential rocketry training you need to become closer to graduating the Rocket Kid training program. You can simulate everything from blast off, to navigating space, preforming a space walk, and all the other chores required on a ship. Which simulation you choose to do is up to your imagination. As long as your imagination takes you through them all, then you will be several steps closer to becoming a Rocket Kid and boldly exploring where no other kid has explored before.
