Kids To Space - Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments:

The Kids to Space vision required endless effort and countless hours from the following, who all believed in the value of inspiring and helping children with their journey to Tomorrow: For their invaluable support of the Kids to Space vision and project, grateful appreciation is extended to The Robert Heinlein Foundation and The Sophron Foundation.

For space inspiration, thanks to the Ansari Family, Peter Diamandis and the X Prize Foundation, and the Aerospace Technology Working Group (ATWG).
