hamstronaut

Hamstronaut is a fun way to see NASA's photos to inspire the next generations! There are 2 ways to see the space photos. One is the smart mode which where kids look at the photos and read the original description like on Instagram or Flickr and story mode is more fun where kids read the stories based on NASA's description about the space photos.
