Students at Project SPARC, the nickname, of Northeast High School’s Space Research Center take part in a virtual space mission, Thursday, May 22, 2014, in Philadelphia. School officials say SPARC launched about 50 years ago as the first NASA-recognized high school space program. But funding problems threatened to end it this year. Alumni raised money to save SPARC, and students “blasted off” on a two-day mission Thursday. They are expected to stay the night at school to finish the mission Friday. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)
