Stand up and crouch low like a rocket on the pad. Count down out loud — at zero, JUMP as high as you can! That's liftoff. Make engine sounds the whole time!

Future spacecraft may use rotation to simulate gravity on long voyages. A spinning ship acts like a centrifuge — the outer edge becomes the "floor." Same physics as a carnival ride, on a cosmic scale.

RATIONS

Astronauts eat carefully designed meals. Yours just happen to taste incredible.

Flip the cone, stack your scoops, add an Oreo cockpit window on top!
