                            This section will allow you (you can take a friend also) to step into a time machine
                             that allows you to travel back in time to the 1960's. While you are there, you can
                             move forward and back in time within that decade. Your mission is to change a
                             problem or situation that occured in the 1960's. You can make a change in time
                             and look ahead a few years to see the ripple effects your change has had on the
                             rest of the decade. Remember your changes may effect how you find your world
                             when you return! Document your work carefully; make sure you explore all the
                             possibilities for change both in the sixties and now.
