Space Exploration Merit Badge
April 2000/2003/2005/2009

This presentation was created for counselling Scouts on the Space Exploration Merit Badge during Kansas State University's annual Advancement Day in April 2000. You may view it here on the Web or download the original PowerPoint 2000 source (an 12 MB file). A PowerPoint viewer is freely available from Microsoft. The average slide is about 120 kB and should load in about 35-40 seconds over a 28.8 kbps modem.

There are also several video clips available that go with the presentation.
