More inspiring science for young children too
Play
On New Year's Eve my family went to the Exhibition "Nasa: A Human Adventure". It was crowded and I spent more than an hour queuing for the afternoon show.
But it was worth the wait and the admission of about Bt1,000, compared with having to spend much more time and money travelling to the US to visit the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
The exhibition featured spacecraft parts that had been actually used, plus virtual-reality simulation, with everything explained to visitors via individual headphone sets. It seemed the exhibition was focused on adolescents (though not small children) who have a basic knowledge of science.
It would be possible to expand the show to include activities and learning material for young children, making it easy and fun for them to learn and understand. If possible I would like to see the next such space-exploration exhibition feature a 3D 360-degree movie, with the subjects seen floating in anti-gravity.
