NASA Moon Kit of things I would take to the moon with me, The first thing I thought of for my Moon Kit was the first book I ever read when I was learning to read. It is titled, You Will Go To The Moon. I really liked that book and read it many times, looking at the illustrations and wondering about if I would ever actually go to the moon. Of the many belongings that I have lost through the years from moving, etc. that book has stayed with me and so it would of course go to the moon with me. Photography has always interested me and so a family photo was second to get packed. We always had photos taken and volumes of old family photos in the house and so photography has played an important role in my life and so my camera gear is third to get packed. As a kid I spend a lot of time and money building rockets and flying them. I bet my rocket would go very high on the moon. I also like a little candy wherever I go.

NASA Moon Kit of things I would take to the moon, I couldn’t go to the moon without my two mirrorless digital SLR cameras, Lens, my 120 6x4.5 film camera, several rolls of 120 film, my singing bowl (for meditation), my wireless printer, My son’s astronaut toy, Several pictures of both my sons and wife, My oldest sons first shoes (they are good luck), cell phone (for music and extra photos), Tablet and Pen (for editing and books), my Laptop and my water bottle (I take it everywhere).
I may not always pack light, but I tried to only pack the essentials, with a couple of goodies. I get cold fairly easily hence the blanket, extra NASA shirt, hat and gloves. No trip is complete without my favorite snack of almonds, water, sunglasses, Chapstick, phone and my headphones to listen to some music. I figured I could bring my yoga mat, because who wouldn’t want to do yoga on the moon?? The most important part of this kit is my camera! I brought a couple of different lenses for a variety of options, along with a sports action camera, notebook and computer for editing. The Van Gogh doll was just for fun!
#NASAMoonKit campaign, I couldn’t go to the Moon without my camera, a 45-vinyl record (I really want to know how a record sounds in space. Gravity is what makes the needle lay on the record, will the change in gravity make it sound different?), a book to read, a photograph of my daughter, my phone or rather my communication and photo editing device, a snack and I definitely couldn’t go to the Moon without my moon boots!
The first thing that went into my Moonkit was my camera. Some of the most iconic photographs ever taken were captured on the surface of the Moon by NASA astronauts. The camera has to go. The hat and sunscreen will be a must to protect me from the unfiltered sunlight. Warm socks? Of course, my feet are always cold. A little “Moon Music” and a photo of Holly, the best dog in the world, will pass the time during breaks. Lastly, I need to eat. Water and gummy peach rings will pack in a small corner of my pack.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson helped kick off a new initiative to deliver food and hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math kits, called Learning Lunchboxes, at New Beginnings Church – The Gathering Place in Orlando, Florida on Friday, June 3. The lunchboxes are aimed at inspiring and educating youth and families about NASA’s upcoming Artemis missions, which includes landing the first woman and person of color on the Moon and helping prepare for human exploration of Mars. Partners on the initiative with NASA include the Center of Science and Industry, the Second Harvest Food Bank, and the Orlando Science Center. The NASA Artemis Learning Lunchbox is made possible through NASA’s Teams Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II) program. NASA Learning Lunchboxes provide five space-focused learning activities that showcase the diversity of STEM at NASA. COSI will distribute 30,000 NASA Learning Lunchboxes at local food banks across the country to help feed hungry lives and feed hungry minds. This innovative, community-based model will bring together other science centers and museums, afterschool providers, and community leaders to highlight the importance of STEM. This project also includes digital extension resources.

Team kite This kite was part of the scientific tool kit. It carried a camera that can be used to make high-resolution mosaics of the study site. Credit: NASA/GSFC/Jacob Bleacher In June, five student journalists from Stony Brook University packed their hiking boots and hydration packs and joined a NASA-funded science team for 10 days on the lava fields of Kilauea, an active Hawaiian volcano. Kilauea’s lava fields are an ideal place to test equipment designed for use on Earth’s moon or Mars, because volcanic activity shaped so much of those terrains. The trip was part of an interdisciplinary program called RIS4E – short for Remote, In Situ, and Synchrotron Studies for Science and Exploration – which is designed to prepare for future exploration of the moon, near-Earth asteroids and the moons of Mars.
