Hey there! We don’t know how you stumbled upon our little site, but we’re happy to have you here. We designed this site and video in 2009 for our entry into the NASA/ USA Today No Boundaries Competition. The concept originally started when our physics teacher gave us the choice between soldering (we’re not very good with molten metal) and designing a marketing project for a NASA career. We hope you enjoy our site, video, and song! But enough of our rambling, click for a detailed overview.

Proposal

Credits

There is no way we would be able to do this alone. So, major props to the following people:
Video

• Inspired by metroamv’s Lost Generation and Lopez Murphy’s Truth
• Edited and recorded by Jacob Crowther

Website Design and Code

• Invaluable help and advice provided by Kay Lingo
• Stripe Pattern used from Jo's Web
• Neuropol Font by Larabie Fonts
• DNA Image by Michael Ströck

Special Thanks to:

• Our superawesome physics teacher, Mr. Van!
• Mr.Van's equally awesome friend and colleague, Justin Crepp, for giving us an amazing interview!
• Jacob Crowther for giving up his time, which is in very heavy demand, to help edit our video.
• Kay Lingo, who prevented Jean's brains from exploding while she was coding.
