1. The HIAD game challenges players to successfully land a HIAD after launching from the International Space Station and arriving at a target ground point on Earth.
2. NASA calls the spacecraft technology HIAD - Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator.
3. A giant cone of inner tubes stacked together may someday help cargo, or even people, land on another planet or return to Earth.
4. Choose the right shape, materials and trajectory to use a HIAD to bring cargo back from space.
5. Learn the challenges NASA faces as it works to develop an inflatable spacecraft.
6. To successfully guide an inflatable spacecraft through the super heat of atmospheric re-entry requires the right stuff.
7. Try your hand at landing a HIAD and become a rocket scientist.

9. If you inflate too early, your shape is incorrect or your material isn’t strong enough - you burn up.
10. And if you get all that right and miss the target the mission is a bust.
