Speaker in front of class:

So today we are going to try to calculate the velocity like we did the other day.
We’ll try to clean it up a little bit and make it a little bit better.

Cheryl Thompson interviewing students:
Tell me what you like about the LCROSS mission.

Josh:
I think it’s pretty cool how we get to move it and stuff.
Especially with us kids, it’s like an interacting thing.
My brother did it when he was younger, and  I always thought it was really cool.
I’m just a big fan of space, and the fact that we get to crash something into the moon and see what happens is pretty cool.

A little later he shouts:
I got the answer!
It’s negative 1 point 8 7 9 95271….


Another boy:
I really like LCROSS.
It’s something that probably most kids won’t be able to do or most kids don’t even know about.
It’s my second year in this class. I really like it!

Another boy:
I love space science and I tried for two years to get into the program.
It’s really fun to get to do these projects and working here is really cool.

Justin:
My name is Justin Reyes, and my favorite part about LCROSS is that it’s  fun and we get work as a team and visit all the people that work with it.
And I get to have fun with LCROSS.

Seth:
I’m Seth and I really really like how we’re going to  be able to crash a spacecraft into the moon to see if there is water. And I think it would be really really fun in the near future to see if we can build another space station out there to hopefully take off to another planet.
