"LOVED the Food in Space DVD!  Before we go to the Challenger Center at UT Chattanooga in December as part of our space science curriculum, this DVD will be an exciting part of my science lesson about space."

" 'Food in Space' challenges students to apply science that they’ve learned in the classroom to the real world.   After watching 'Food in Space,' my students can see themselves as astronauts, blasting off into space and learning how to live and eat in a new world.  I think it’s important to not only teach science, but to motivate and encourage students to set high goals and work to reach those goals.  'Food in Space' helps them dream beyond their classroom walls."
