Space Stationdragonflytvplanetary.jpg

Important parts on the space station are failing! You need to fix the parts before the station is doomed forever. Your space suit is outfitted with oxygen and a fueled jetpack for the spacewalk mission. Move yourself around using the jetpack according to Newton's Third Law of Motion. ("For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.") But be careful! If you move too quickly between the repairs, you'll run out of fuel. And if you spend to long in space, you'll run out of oxygen. Balance your oxygen and fuel use carefully to complete the mission.

Nanobotsdragonflytvnanobots.jpg

Your mission is to guide the nanorobot to the end of the obstacle course safely. Forces behave very differently at the nanoscale, so you'll have to conserve your energy and pay close attention to the positive and negative charges. Use your charge flippers to take advantage of these charges as they pull and push your nanorobot. Watch out for obstacles and the water drops, and use the items in your inventory wisely! Once you've mastered the navigation, you can try your hand at building a course of your own for others to attempt. Good luck!
