To The Moon & Back

To The Moon & Back is an educational app intended for use by kids (and adults!) curious about the solar system. It provides an immersive, educational ”space travel” experience through imaginary voyages to other planets in our solar system. The user can plan a trip for up to five travelers to one of nine celestial bodies, and while there see differences in weight and age (due to gravity and travel time), and learn about landmarks. There is also a recent space news item on the home page for further reading.
