I'm with missbonnielass on this - fascination - I can still remember (in fact I think I still may have it) a PRIMARY school project on space: planets, Sputnik, Yuri Gagarin, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo etc<BR/><BR/>P.S.

That was until my son was born and from quite a young age he showed fascination with the stars and planets. By the time he was 4 he knew far more about space etc than I did so I thought I ought to rectify it.<BR/><BR/>First step was the Planetarium in London, sadly no longer with us and that was a spectacular show. A few years ago we visited the National Space Museum in Leciester and that really did blow my mind. One reason for this was it explained things, science physics type things, in a language I could understand and as a consequence think about. Fantastic.<BR/><BR/>Last week I watched the launch of Dawn, Nasa's 8 year mission to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It was a beautiful launch. I can't wait for the pictures to come back but oh what a wait! Now it worries me that I just don't have a long enough life to discover if there really are hunks like Cap'n Jack Harkness travelling around space. Going to Cardiff is not an option!Linda Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081786621318362216noreply@blogger.com
