President Eisenhower created NASA; President Nixon signed the plaque Apollo 11 left on the moon. But, every president since World War II has played a role in America's exploration of space. Reagan helped the nation mourn its loss. Obama grounded the aging shuttle fleet. Kennedy delivered the speech that made America look to the stars...and the moon.

We are here, 24/7/365, or is it 366?
Once every four years, February adds an extra day. We call it leap day, but why do we leap? Who came up with this system we take for granted? Why does the earth need a 366th day? Adults can discover the calendar anomoly that led us to add one day everfy four years.
Kids can take this day literally too. Special contests will record the longest, highest, and most leaps.
