Since 2008, as author of Mike Mongo's Astronaut Instruction Manual for Pre-Teens (formerly HUMANNAIRES!), I have worked to encourage primary, middle-school and high school students to pursue careers in astronautics and astronautic-related fields. Here at the beginning of the 21st century it is clear our natural reach of technology will extend to earth orbit, our moon, Mars and beyond. A good portion of my time goes towards evangelizing for the field of astronautics, as well as visiting schools to remind teachers of the value of proposing astronautics and careers in space as learning incentives. UPDATE: Solve for space, solve for Earth.
