NAME_______________________ DATE____________ HR____________ Teacher explanation- I don’t know how many of you have ever heard of the Voyager space crafts. They were either the coolest or the dumbest ideas that NASA has ever had. The cool part…these crafts were designed to travel from Earth, through our solar system, and then out into space. The crafts looked like this. Many of the coolest things we know about other planets were discovered from the Voyagers’ trips. We discovered a bunch of new moons, new rings around planets, etc. Pretty cool stuff. Now, the other cool part, or the dumb part, depending on how you see it--if you look closely at the picture you will see this weird, golden disc. You see, some scientists who are convinced that aliens actually exist attached this giant, golden DVD-looking-thing the space craft. On the “D VD” there were pictures, sounds, and all sorts of stuff. If you want to see everything that is on it, click here. Don’t believe us? Click here if you want to read about it on NASA’s site. By the way, one of the messages on the disk was this… “Friends of space, how are you all? Have you eaten yet? Come visit us if you have time.” So IF aliens do exist and…IF they intercept the golden disc, they will probably come eat us! Way to go NASA!
Don’t Eat Us...Part 1
Create a P.Y.S.E.U. Stone
Your job is to convince the aliens not to eat us with some evidence that we are civilized. The catch is... if they see you, you’ll be lunch! Instead of speaking with them, you must create you own P.Y.S.E.U. (Proof You Shouldn’t Eat Us) stone. I have a scientist friend at KSU named Paul Verhage who sends monstrous weather balloons into the top of near space to take pictures, video, and to record data. He has agreed to send your projects up into space, attached to one of his crafts, just like NASA did as long as we can get them all on a single DVD. Each of your projects will be two sided and look something like this: FRONT (pictures) BACK (paragraphs)
