Meet Robert — Space Foundation Discovery Center's featured volunteer.

When asked about his favorite exhibit, Robert didn't hesitate: "I love the rocket launcher. Watching our little guests build their straw rockets and seeing their faces light up when they launch them — that never gets old."

His favorite space fact: the nearest star system to our own, Alpha Centauri, is 4.37 light-years away — and there is nothing but empty space in between.
