You don't have to be a rocket scientist to launch a NASA spacecraft with NASA's Rocket Science 101 (RS101)! Select your favorite NASA mission and build a rocket to send the spacecraft into orbit. As you take the RS101 challenge, you can learn more about thrilling missions and the various components of the launch vehicles, how they are configured and how they work together to successfully launch a NASA spacecraft. NASA's Launch Services Program (LSP) does the same things for real rockets and exciting spacecraft missions every day - now it's your turn!

Seriously, it's a jigsaw puzzle No wonder NASA can't fly... anything... on it's own. They're presented with Kerbal Space Program and SimpleRockets as models. They come up with something like a flash app that most closely resembles a scripted jigsaw puzzle and gives congratulations for reading a dial. It's a sad excuse for education and is boring sixty seconds in.

I think it is silly that NASA doesn't use metric units with this app. Science books use metric. Labels on everything Americans buy have both metric and American units. Basically, it's an oversight (or bad decision) that is a totally unforgivable when the intent is to promote science (rocket science specifically). Don't fire anybody ... just fix it! The app is nice otherwise. Wasn't losing a 125 million dollar (Lockheed as contractor) climate orbiter a clue that English units have no place in rocket science? Hint: if someone is using your app, they probably have a grasp of metric or plan on it. Seriously, who do I slap?

I liked it It was fun at first but then kinda got boring. I love NASA and rockets so I had to download this game. I was a little disappointed because my favorite rocket (Gemini titan) was not in here but still good enough.

Needs new difficulty. This app is just all about putting he rocket parts, regardless of which one first, into the launch pad. The launch is just an animation. Even with the hardest difficulty, it's still too easy to a Kerbal Space Program player. Want to learn rocketry? Buy KSP.

Very cool I don't know how long I will keep this app on my phone, but it's well worth checking out. Space exploration & pyrotechnics - what's not to love!

Pretty good It's a good game but gets boring after a while. What is the difference between the three levels. You get to build the same rockets in each level of difficulty
Request for Mercury, Gemini, Apollo Rocket Science app Very good and simple graphics. I love the interface though. May I just request if you can also make an app like this for the Apollo and Gemini and even Mercury Program if you like or not a feature of this game which goes back into the 50s and 60s. Its nice to have both the beginning and the present for this app. From first american space flight to the latest ISS resupply or interplanetary missions
Strictly for children You drag and drop rocket components to the approximate right area, nothing more. I was expecting something more like Kerbal.
Worth the time Its nice to be able to spend time learn. Cool fun data that a non sport watcher looks for thx rock on.
How many kg's in a pound? Can we start using metric units please? This app is for kids and it would be better to teach them the standard units.
Adding the delta IV heavy rocket The creator of this game please add the delta IV heavy rocket in this game
My four year old son really like this app. He learned a lot .even me also...
A minigame for children Please try Kerbal Space Program for a proper rocket simulation game.
Not able to play without Internet Pleaseeeeeeee find and alternative for it
Very nice It's awesome I can just launch a mission at any time.
Fun but it is pretty easy and can you add more rockets for every skill anyways pretty fun
A very good game It is a very good game with excellent graphics. In this game we have to built and launch the rocket which we have built.
Need metric system It's a nice app, but not living in US thus using metric system gets frustrating at times
The best science app I've seen so far . it is truly fantastic
Amazing! Unbelievable! It's so nice! I am very happy. It is because of you that I can learn about several new things. Thank you!
I like it I installed this but i didn't mean to uninstaled it just becaus i want to instal other game ^_^
The best I love to learn about rockets and space exploration.
Amazing This is a very nice and fun educational app. NASA is really amazing!!!!
Toki Tahmid ornob.nasa is the highest power administration of spa
Soyuz Please add the Soviet soyuz rocket because I love it so do many people!
Awesome It's awesome but you need to more rockets like manned rockets. Otherwise it's awesome
