Craters of the Moon
Before Apollo 14 astronauts traveled to
the Moon, they first traveled to Craters of
the Moon National Monument to explore
the lava landscape. The astronauts learned
about rocks and volcanic geology at the
monument and used their training at
Craters of the Moon to help them identify
the most important rock samples from the
lunar surface to bring back to Earth for
scientific study.

National Parks from Earth and from Space
Our national parks are filled with beautiful views and landscapes. Astronauts

Sustainable Exploration
NASA uses sustainable practices to explore space. The National Park Service uses
sustainable practices in all of its parks. Why do you think this is important?

Sustainable practices help protect resources. Sustainable space exploration means humans can
travel on missions deep into space over long periods of time. Using sustainable practices in
our national parks preserves them for future generations to enjoy!
