American in 5 00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:24,580 alright who was the first American in space and see if you can tell me when 6 00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:24,590 space and see if you can tell me when 7 00:00:24,590 --> 00:00:26,800 space and see if you can tell me when raise your hand now I think it was Alan 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:26,810 raise your hand now I think it was Alan 9 00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:31,690 raise your hand now I think it was Alan B Shepard in 1961 how many people have 10 00:00:31,690 --> 00:00:31,700 B Shepard in 1961 how many people have 11 00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:33,970 B Shepard in 1961 how many people have actually walked on the moon that's what 12 00:00:33,970 --> 00:00:33,980 actually walked on the moon that's what 13 00:00:33,980 --> 00:00:36,220 actually walked on the moon that's what people walked on then where was the 14 00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:36,230 people walked on then where was the 15 00:00:36,230 --> 00:00:38,410 people walked on then where was the first space shuttle launch and what was 16 00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:38,420 first space shuttle launch and what was 17 00:00:38,420 --> 00:00:40,869 first space shuttle launch and what was the main love him first space show was 18 00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:40,879 the main love him first space show was 19 00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:43,240 the main love him first space show was Columbia and it was launched in 1981 20 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:43,250 Columbia and it was launched in 1981 21 00:00:43,250 --> 00:00:45,520 Columbia and it was launched in 1981 here's another question why did the 22 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:45,530 here's another question why did the 23 00:00:45,530 --> 00:00:47,260 here's another question why did the students in this classroom know so much 24 00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:47,270 students in this classroom know so much 25 00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:49,420 students in this classroom know so much about the space program the answer 26 00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:49,430 about the space program the answer 27 00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:52,149 about the space program the answer because the space program has made its 28 00:00:52,149 --> 00:00:52,159 because the space program has made its 29 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,149 because the space program has made its way into this classroom a computer 30 00:00:55,149 --> 00:00:55,159 way into this classroom a computer 31 00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:57,579 way into this classroom a computer system called NASA's Space link connects 32 00:00:57,579 --> 00:00:57,589 system called NASA's Space link connects 33 00:00:57,589 --> 00:00:59,740 system called NASA's Space link connects these students with such things as space 34 00:00:59,740 --> 00:00:59,750 these students with such things as space 35 00:00:59,750 --> 00:01:01,930 these students with such things as space agency background information daily 36 00:01:01,930 --> 00:01:01,940 agency background information daily 37 00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:04,299 agency background
