High-Level Project Summary
We developed a small game that asks the user questions about how different organisms can survive in space. We then ask the user for their top picks for what features from each organism to use in the superhero. This solves the challenge because it simply gets users involved with how each organism can handle space travel.

Detailed Project Description
We developed a small game that asks the user questions about how different organisms can survive in space. We then ask the user for their top picks for what features from each organism to use in the superhero. This solves the challenge because it simply gets users involved with how each organism can handle space travel.
Space Agency Data
We used data from SpaceX and Nasa to search information about what environmental stressors there were and what animals can resist these stressors.
Hackathon Journey
We wanted to choose this challenge to learn more about the environmental stressors in space since before this we never really thought about any of these besides no oxygen or gravity. We were able to work together over call as well as own our own when the other was busy.
