"Being in space is not at all like being on Earth. It's usually very hot or very cold. There's no air. There's very little gravity. And the radiation is terrible!

But before you send your new material into the harsh environment of space, you must test it on Earth in a space-like situation. "

"Visual or sonic, real or virtual, our experiences are a constant interface with key algebraic concepts like proportional and inverse relationships, graphical representations of slope, arithmetical functions, and independent and dependent variables.
