According to creators.com, “A Smile as Big as the Moon” is based on the popular book by Mike Kersjes with Joe Layden about Kersjes’ unique voyage into the unknown. A high school football coach and special-education teacher, he decided that if his special-ed students wanted to go to space camp — which they did — then they should be able to do so. And he found a way to get a bunch of kids with conditions ranging from Down syndrome to Tourette’s into a demanding program filled with gifted science students, with amazing results.
