The Planetary box explores the tools and tech designed to leave Earth behind. The Planetary box contains these items and an info card: Space Blanket: Invented by NASA in 1964, the space blanket reflects body heat with astonishing efficiency. Used in spacecraft, satellites, and survival gear, this featherlight material is a symbol of space-age innovation and utility. Superalloy Bolt: Made from Inconel, a heat-resistant superalloy used in rocket engines and spacecraft, this bolt embodies the strength required to survive launch, re-entry, and the vacuum of space. It’s precision engineering for the extreme. Prototype Rover Sample: This fragment comes from NASA’s Chariot prototype, a lunar and Mars vehicle concept designed for surface transport and exploration. Though it never flew, Chariot helped pave the way for future rovers and crewed missions beyond Earth. Mini Matter is the smaller version of our Matter subscription box. These kits explore the stuff that makes up our world (and beyond) through surprising connections. Shop the full collection here.
