“This picture shows a robot space station. It has a sun roof so electricity can go inside of the space station so you can watch TV and play games because the robot space station is so big because it’s like a home inside. And it has a lot of energy so it can go far. (The station is connected to a rocket).

“This is my dream space station. It would be a safe place to live because it features plenty of water tanks, oxygen tanks, and food. Also every thing is strapped to the floor so that the zero gravity doesn’t effect people. It has a gardening room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a tool closet, water tank closet, main hallway, an escape pod, a bedroom, a control room, and solar panels for electricity. My space station also has a platform outside with a sturdy rope so that astronauts can go outside without floating away. I hope you enjoy my dream space station!”

“The Star Spangled Shuttle is a space habitat created for human life. It also has a ship hatch created especially for the Saturn mission that it’s on. The letter A is a room of the shuttle. It has two fans. It’s designed to take the person using it to float slowly to the bottom. Or if the person riding it wants to go to another floor they can catch the door. The point of room B is basicly the same as room A except the point of room B is to take you up. You push the button as many times to represent the floor. Room 1 is the sleeping chamber. It’s where every astronaut sleeps. Room 2 is the exercise chamber. The treadmills are nailed to the floor and they have straps to keep the astronaut tethered to it. There are also straps tied to the floor so the astronauts can do sit-ups. Room 3 is the lab room. There they can learn more about what they found, or they can do experiments. Room 4 is the astronauts hang out spot. It’s where the astronauts can have privacy and do what-ever they want. Room 5 has food toobs. Basicly anything that can survive in space.”

“The bedrooms are on one side and the kitchen is on the other one. The big purple circle is how it steers through space. The astronaut is exploring the planet Mars that is close to him. That is the only one he is exploring. His spacesuit keeps him safe so he can breathe. I think the most special thing is that there is a kitchen so you can eat and stay strong in space.”

“I was thinking about my house. I made it like this because it looks like home so you won’t get homesick. The big house is the kitchen and living space. The medim house is the escape pod launcher. Last but not least, the small house is the green house. I also made the tunnels to crawl or slide through. The pink car at the top is an escape pod. The little thing and the bottom is the safe and the solar panel.”

“The Destination Sirius was created to research the star Sirius. The Destination Sirius is a satellite/space shuttle positioned in the gravitational pull of the two stars that make up Sirius. The space shuttle will stay in space for 3 months and can hold up to 10 people but currently holds 6. On the side of the shuttle there is a large radio dish to collect radio waves coming from Sirius. The exterior is made of titanium and solar panels. Coming from the shuttle a large pipe transfers dirty water to a tank where it is filtered and held, on the other side of the water tank is another pipe where the water is then transferred wherever it is needed.”
