Visit the Moon! Design a lunar or a moon base including buildings ready to be put together as Lunar Pods, special Lunar Vehicles and the famed Eagle Lander from the 1969 Moon landing. Then take a trip around your virtual base, view Planet Earth from the Moon, see Jupiter through the atmosphere of Io. Kids can let their imagination run riot and by changing the atmosphere, see how fictional planets such as Vulcan and Kryton might look! This kids educational software SpexWorld! Lunar can be the exciting centre of any classroom project about space and astronomy.

When kids begin to design a moon base, they choose from a selection of different moon landing sites that were used during the Apollo missions following the famous moon landing in 1969.

The landing sites in SpexWorld! Lunar may be artists impressions, but the names are real and you can see a little information about each of the space missions to these sites below. In SpexWorld! Lunar kids can design moon base at each of the apollo landing sites, and for a bit of added space experience they can change the background scenes to go to different Lunar Worlds; Io and Titan for example and the fantasy worlds of Vulcan and Krypton!

The Sea of Tranquility served as the landing site for the Apollo 11 lunar module, the first manned landing on the Moon. Three small craters near the site have been named Aldrin, Collins, and Armstrong in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts who landed there in 1969. "One small set for man, one giant leap for mankind!"

Fra Mauro Crater (artists impression)	The Apollo 14 landing site was located, about 30 miles north of the Fra Mauro crater. The space vehicle with a crew of Alan B. Shepard, the commander, Stuart A. Roosa, the command module pilot and Edgar D. Mitchell, the lunar module pilot, was launched from Kennedy Space Center on January 31, 1971
The Apollo 12 landing site was located at the Ocean of Storms and was the second of the Apollo missions to land on the moon. The space vehicle with a crew of Charles Conrad, the commander, Richard F. Gordon, the command module pilot and Alan L. Bean, the lunar module pilot, was launched from Kennedy Space Center on November 14, 1969	Ocean of Storms (artists impression)
Descartes Highlands (artists impression)	The hilly region around Descartes crater in the lunar highlands was the landing site for Apollo 16. The space vehicle was launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 16, 1972 with the crew John W. Young, Commander, Thomas K. Mattingly II, Command Module Pilot, and Charles M. Duke, Lunar Module Pilot
Apollo 15 was the fourth mission to land men on the Moon. This mission was the first flight of the Lunar Roving Vehicle which astronauts used to explore the geology of the Hadley Rille region. The space vehicle with a crew of David R. Scott, commander, Alfred J. Worden, command module pilot and James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, was launched from the NASA Kennedy Space Center on July 26, 1971	Hadley Rille (artists impression)
Taurus Mountains (artists impression)	Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission to land men on the Moon. It carried the only trained geologist to walk on the lunar surface, lunar module pilot Harrison Schmitt. Eugene Cernan, commander of Apollo 17, still holds the distinction of being the last man to walk on the Moon, as no humans have visited the Moon since December 14, 1972.
