How To Build a Spacecraft

How to Build a Spacecraft First, consider: 1. The purpose for building the craft. 2. Mission goals 3. Comfort (while traveling through space… the staff.) 4. Technical matters. 5. The project plan. 6. Research results. 7. Anything and everything else. 8. Make decisions (Decisions. Decisions. Ideas refine. Then, draw several spacecraft designs. Before construction, contemplate time.) 9. Ask questions. 10. State facts. 11. Evaluate. (How long will it take to get to a star? Or over to visit the near planet mars? The edge of the universe is way to far!) 12. Finish fact-finding. 13. Formulate the time-line. 14. Begin drawing a model (When you decide which Spacecraft to build, Plan and develop; you will be thrilled. Make a miniature model…with paper… skilled.) 15. Cut out the paper parts. 16. Assemble the paper parts (using glue) 17. Evaluate the design. 18. Upon approval, make a phone call! To: N.A.S.A. Let the experts build the real thing, baby! 19. Your work has only just begun. 20. Consult through lift-off! © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 2, 2010
