T-Minus Space Dev Hosts RCR Young Entrepreneurs at NASA Space Center

Restoration Community Resources under the leadership of Minister Kevin Smith has been Building Successful Young Men Since 2004.

The vision of the Entrepreneur Mentoring Program is to successfully impact the lives of young men through mentorship with emphasis on education and exposure to entrepreneurial endeavors.

T-Minus Space Development brings young people from ages 7 to 40 to visit and learn at the NASA Space Centers throughout the United States each year.

Students have an opportunity to explore, ask questions and learn the intricacies of space flight, space travel and they see first hand projects in various stages of development. Projects such as:

2024 January 29 NASA’s Northrop Grumman CRS-20 - Northrop Grumman's 20th Commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station delivering scientific research, crew supplies, and hardware to the orbiting laboratory for NASA.

2024 September NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 - SpaceX’s ninth crew rotation mission to the space station for NASA. This mission is part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

2024 3rd Quarter CLPS Flight - Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 - The Blue Ghost Mission 1 will deliver payloads that investigate the heat flow of the lunar interior, plume-surface interactions, and will test regolith sampling technologies.

2024 October NASA’s Europa Clipper Mission - Europa Clipper’s main science goal is to determine whether there are places below the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, that could support life.

2024 October NASA’s VIPER Mission - NASA's Artemis lunar rover, the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER, will explore the relatively nearby but extreme environment of the Moon in search of ice and other potential resources. This mobile robot will land at the South Pole of the Moon in late 2024 on a 100-day mission. The critical information it provides will teach us about the origin and distribution of water on the Moon and help determine how we can harvest the Moon's resources for future human space exploration.

NASA is inviting people to send their names to the surface of the Moon aboard the agency’s first robotic lunar rover, VIPER. NASA will accept names received before 11:59 p.m. EST, March 15, 2024. Once collected, the agency will take the names and attach them to the rover.

The approximately 10-day Artemis II flight test will launch on the agency’s powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, prove the Orion spacecraft’s life-support systems, and validate the capabilities and techniques needed for humans to live and work in deep space.
The astronauts will launch from NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39B atop the SLS rocket as it generates 8.8 million pounds of thrust, beginning their 600,000 mile journey. Once out of our atmosphere, these star sailors will conduct a targeting demonstration and check the Orion spacecraft’s systems near Earth before they head around the Moon and back to Earth, reentering our atmosphere at 30 times the speed of sound, before gently splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.
Artemis II's crew is comprised of NASA astronauts commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch; and Canadian Space Agency astronaut and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen.
