### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2026-07-26*

Unable to use the app since Trump scrubbed every thing relating to people of color. Click on the links in the app and you are directed to a 404 error message on NASAs website. This sucks. Was really looking forward to this app.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-03-21*

This app used to be perfect until the president made the federal government scrub all diversity content! It’s an ok app now for connecting to some cool VR but the best part- actually reading the story about the first woman living in the moon - is gone. It allowed the user to put themselves in the story and was such a great way to engage with kids who are interested in space and get them excited about STEM. The characters are fun and appealing to all ages and backgrounds. Why does politics have to muck with this and screw it up???

### 1/5 — Nasa and CGI. Lol.

*2024-01-15*

When are people going to realize that nasa is ALL CGI? 

Everything they give us green screens, under water (fake) “Space walks” complete with bubbles in space (yes, look it up)  harness movie theater effects and virtual reality pasted in floating microphones and water droplets.

Nasa receives over $60 million $ a DAY.  And this app is the best they can give us?

😂

### 5/5 — Good

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-07-19*

Amazing Animations, great voice acting
and all in all a very interessting and nice expierience 👍

### 3/5 — Have we forgotten Sally Ride :(

*2022-03-26*

Have we forgotten Sally Ride :(.  The title suggest  NASA’s first woman but it’s about the first woman to walk the moon.

### 3/5 — Good start

*2022-03-15*

For a new app that will probably (?) be made better during the next updates, i think this is quite cute. I don’t think it’s an app that you will use repeatedly, which is why I only gave it three stars. You can tell though that lots of work has gone into it, so from that perspective, I would give it 5.

### 2/5 — First?

*2022-03-13*

Erste Frau im All war Russin, Valentina Tereshkova, heute Politikerin

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-03-03*

I absolutely love this app I love the solar system and NASA I love learning more about the planets
