A program of The Force for Health® Networkin Training™
Standards-aligned enrichment challenges, disguised as a mission to Mars.
Every trainee already lives on a spaceship — Earth. Marstronaut uses spaceflight, the most demanding all-systems test of a human being ever devised, to teach what every school, employer, and family already wants: health literacy, science and math, real careers, teamwork, civics, and character. Every single thing learned for Mars has an immediate Earth application.
What a trainee does
- Orientation, Career Compass, Training ID
- Ground School → Flight School → three Missions → Graduation
- Builds the body system-by-system in the Vehicle Assembly Building
- Earns Healthy Coins and Drops through Learn It · Live It · Share It™
- Trains the 26 Astronaut Qualities, 60 seconds a day
- Meets 60+ real careers, incl. 16 pre-apprentice healthcare pathways
What a partner gets
- A chapter: ~25 trainees + 1 Group Leader, online or in person
- Group Leader training built into the same ladder (Basic → Ambassador → Group Leader)
- Mission Control: progress, badges, and Earth Dispatches at a glance
- Two full units, 17 badges, 9 bingo boards, 4 games, 5 simulation gates
- AI guides clearly labeled, COPPA-aware, clinical routing to Dr. Rob
- The Mission Handbook — a 24-page flip book for trainees and coaches

Scholarship seats are administered through The Force for Health® Network's 501(c)(3) fiscal agent. Marstronaut™ runs alongside adopted courses; it does not replace them. Maria and Marcus are illustrated guide characters, not real people.

Preheader: You already live on a spaceship. Here's your training manual.
Hi {first name},
For the last year Dr. Rob and I have been building Marstronaut™ in Training™ — a program that uses a mission to Mars to teach the things every young person needs right now on Earth: how their body works, how to stay well, how to work as a crew, and what sixty real careers actually look like.
Today we're sharing the Mission Handbook: a flip book for trainees and coaches. Every chapter has a Trainee box, a Coach box, and a link that opens the live tool — the Vehicle Assembly Building, the Career Compass, the bingo boards, Mission Control.
→ Open the Mission Handbook: https://theforce.health/marstronaut-flipbook/
→ Try a tool right now (no sign-up): https://theforce.health/marstronaut/Marstronaut-Vehicle-Assembly.html
If you lead a school, club, university program, or a Space Grant consortium and want a chapter of 25 trainees this year, reply to this email. Sponsors fund seats, never content.
Every BODY has a role to play. Let's find yours.

7-minute demo walkthrough
Seven stops, one live tool each. Say the italic line, do the grey line, click the link. Rehearse once with the tabs pre-opened in order.
Open on the idea
“Everybody in this room already lives on a spaceship. It's called Earth. Marstronaut trains you to be the crew it deserves.”
Scroll to the Training ID generator; type a call sign live. Show the Mission Log starter.
The engine: Learn It · Live It · Share It
“Three beats, two currencies. Learn It earns Healthy Coins. Live It and Share It earn Drops — a Drop is a tear prevented.”
Log one workout. Point out sleep and screen-time trackers — astronaut habits for everyday life.
The body as a spacecraft
“Twelve systems, each with a Dr. Rob video and a Learn It, Live It, Share It. Finish all twelve and you earn your Astronaut ID.”
Open one system card end-to-end. This is the health-education core — linger here.
Careers that carry the mission
“Thirteen questions, eight career families, a Top 3 that follows you through the program — and highlights the careers you'll meet next.”
Show the 8 families and the radar result screenshot. Click through to Career Ambassador; name three careers.
Play: a bingo board
“Every square is a door. Behind it: a video, a Learn It, a Live It, a Share It — and coins.”
Open one square, play 15 seconds of the video, close it. Mention nine boards, four games, five sims.
The missions
“Eight rocket systems. Every one needs a knowledge badge first — you cannot buy your way past a badge. Then 32 weeks to Mars, then a colony to keep alive.”
Show the eight system cards and one badge gate. Name the Earth Dispatch as the writing assessment.
Coach view + close
“Group Leaders see every trainee's progress, trigger a crisis as a discussion prompt, and approve Dispatches. A chapter is 25 trainees and one leader. Sponsors fund seats, never content.”
End on the Graduation Debrief page if time allows. Hand out the Mission Handbook link.
