Rocket World Launch Videos

The videos that follow include a talk with an engineer on the 'return to moon' project.  He talks about space toilets and why they've decided on disposable rockets.

The following few videos working within the mars simulator -- having to check enviro-bots to determine which have found necessary need.  Then there are a few that deal with using both virtual and real rockets.  There's also a neat video that shows how virtual models can be superimposed onto a live video feed and create an interactivity between the 2 "realities."
