Man and Space

July 4, 2009

The collection of space capsules, rockets, space stations, Hubble telescope is huge.

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse of the Space capsule that first circled the moon and came back to Earth. Look at the burn marks on it. It had to land in the ocean so it didn’t smash to bits or burn up.

The Space Capsule was sent into space on top of a big rocket like in the picture.

When did man first step on the moon? Can anyone tell me? Isn’t the picture inspirational?

The way man gets into space now is on the Space Shuttle which can go back and forth like a plane,
here is a picture of one of the Shuttles. How many were there? What were their names?

The Space Shuttles take astronauts to the Space Station now.


Have you seen a spaceship being made . . . look at this!!

As we were walking through the Air and Space Museum I heard a kid say “they shouldn’t being doing that now.They should be doing it at night when we can’t see them doing it!” he was really indignant.

We thought it was great because we got to see that this amazing model was so simple to put together. With rolls of gold and silver foil, wire, sticks, black paint and glue we could make one too!

Is anyone at BSPS up for the challenge? After all aren’t we are all studying stars and space and things like that next term or the term after.


Know much about flight look what we’ve seen and learned.

As people cannot fly they have had to learn how to . . .

One of the museums at the Smithsonian Institute is devoted to Space and Flight.

Look what we learned about flight. Look at all the people having a fun time playing around with all sorts of experiments about elements of flight. It as a really exciting place to be!

Does anyone know people who have been there?
