Zeolite crystals are used to process petroleum into gasoline. These crystals can be grown better in the weightlessness of space than under the earth's gravity. Therefore, one type of experiment conducted in space is designed to learn more about how enhanced zeolite crystals may make fossil fuels of the future less polluting and more efficient sources of energy. If you want to learn more about the United States space program, or astronaut training, here are some things you can do. Attend Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, or Mountain View, California.
