Doesn’t work on iOS 11

This is one of our all-time favorite apps. Super fun to build and launch all the Rockets. Please update for iOS 11.

It needs improvement

Ok let's be clear, the game is not trash but consider it has not been updated since 2014 so don't criticize it. For the haters: SHUT UP AND GET A PROPER SIMULATOR

Fantastic App!! Easy load and easy to use. Really enjoyed the applause and cheers when launch was successful. Great for my ego. I need that for my ringtone.

Technically Adequate

The application is well-researched and an excellent super-fast and fun introduction into what a real production rocket looks like. This is what really flies into space. Well done.

Best NASA App!!

Great classroom tool

With the end of the shuttle program, many students do not understand how satellites and probes are getting off the ground. NASA's Rocket Science 101 is an ideal answer. The app explains everything that's going on each step of the way, but best yet, it has three difficulty/detail levels that allow the app to be tailored to grade level, detail required for lesson...or just how detailed you want your time wasting to be. Yep, it's enough fun on its own to be practically entertainment. Hopefully future updates will add more missions and launch systems. Double-bravo, NASA!
