The IfA Manoa Open House, held on April 5 to coincide with the International Year of Astronomy event "100 Hours of Astronomy," was an overwhelming success. Well over a thousand visitors attended. Among the most popular children's activities were a Mars rescue mission game in which children assembled rescue pods from Legos and raced them across simulated Martian terrain, comet making, and the Mars drop, in which a raw egg must be packaged to survive a simulated Mars landing (being dropped from the IfA's second floor landing).
