Science App Review

I am doing a review on an app called “Rocket Science 101”. This app was made by NASA to inspire a younger audience to become rocket scientists at the comfort of their own home.

• What’s the difficulty level of this app?

  “Rocket Science 101” isn’t a difficult app to use. It is easy to understand and it is even easier to play.

• What are the skill levels you can choose from?

  The skill level menu is the first thing you will see you launch the app, skill levels include; a “Have Fun” skill level, a “Challenge Yourself” skill level and and a “Rocket Scientist” skill level. I didn’t find any of the skill levels even remotely hard, but they all include a nice amount of detail.

• Is there room for failure?

  Sadly it’s impossible to mess up in this game, because the app doesn’t let you launch the rocket unless the rocket is put together correctly.

• How much information does this app contain about in real life projects ?

  I was impressed by the amount of detail you can find about famous projects like; IBEX, Kepler, MSL and many others. It goes in to detail about what every single components use is, and how each component works.

• Did you learn anything from playing the app?

  I learned about what each components use is, and about how they work. I learned about the amount of work it takes to get a rocket built and ready to launch. I learned about the process of launching the object(satellite, rover .etc) in to space.

• What were the “pros” of this app?

  I like the amount of detail and description this app has, and the many projects you can build and launch for yourself.

• What were the “cons” of this app?

  I didn’t like how there was no way of failing. And how limited the choices are in the menus.

• What would you rate this app ?

  I would rate this app a 3 out 5 stars.
