Subject of movies, documentaries and series, “Mission Control” is back! The Fubra Universe team has started to build the “Mission Control Centre”, a space centre where the 2nd Aldershot Scouts will be driving the Mars Rover over the Mars surface.
Learning high level coding, lots of engineering and bootcamps, and even meeting a real astronaut (through Skype, with 3G), are just a few bits of the hard training the Scouts have gone through to get ready to this new project that will become, without any doubt, a milestone in their lives.

“Aldershot, Tranquility Base. The Eagle has landed.”
Ground control to Major Story
On Friday 26th April, Fubra Universe had one of their most out of this world experiences with the Scouts yet; speaking to an astronaut, in a wood, in the middle of the night.
If you go down to the woods today…be prepared!
It was a dark and drizzly night in the woods and a group of 7 of us were following a path lit exclusively by glow sticks hanging ominously in the trees. The ground underfoot was muddy and a fire lay await in the distance. We were all starting to think this was the start of a very scary horror film and deciding in what order we would be killed off.
The Mars makeover
On Monday I found out exactly what happens when you give a group of Scouts free reign on a papier mache Mars terrain with a selection of poster paints, some bags of sand and a pile of rocks…The result: Mars gets a very messy (but authentic) makeover!
