The Challenger Center

On April 5th, 2009 the Tuesday's Children Mentoring Program launched into outer space at the Lower Hudson Valley Challenger Center.

 Matches from Long Island, New Jersey and Hudson Valley came together to learn through an interactive Mission to Mars!

Each mentor and mentee, as well as other family members, were able to work in the control room and in the spaceship itself to navigate and monitor the simulated space vessel.

Ian, a mentor from Hudson Valley told us "Nick and I got to land a space shuttle on the surface of Mars; how cool is that!"

Tuesday's Children thanks Commander Kristy, Commander Brett and Commander John as well as all the future astronauts for their participation in exciting afternoon to infinity and beyond!
