Elements are all around us and depending on how you use them you can get an astronaut to, and more importantly BACK from the Moon鈥檚 surface! Become a materials chemist and experiment with different materials to discover which is best suited for an astronaut鈥檚 space suit and visor to ensure they are well protected from the Sun鈥檚 harmful UV rays in space! Also learn which elements only have 100 years left and how many of those endangered elements are required to make our mobile phones work!!鈥�
