As part of its work on a future human base on the Moon, NASA is conducting a test of a lightweight, durable, inflatable habitat on the cold, harsh landscape of the National Science Foundation's McMurdo Station to see if it is suitable for a future moonbase. However, everything needs a name, and this structure doesn't have one yet. Until November 20th, NASA and the Challenger Center for Space Education will be accepting possible naming entries from students in kindergarten through twelfth grades from Oct 21 to Nov. 20, 2008. The winning name will be selected later this year and announced by scientists in Antarctica in January 2009. For more information about entering the Name that Habitat contest, go here, and good luck!
