Thanks for the compliment - but it was actually mainly taught to her at her school! They did a project on "space" a while back, so the most credit is due to her teachers.

Mind you, she and I often look up into the night sky together as she has a real natural interest. I taught her to find the Great Bear and the Pole star and a few others, although she still prefers to call Ursa Major "the saucepan", LOL.

Shame there is nothing comparable to the "space race" for today's youngsters to follow. Today's so-called rolemodels are mainly just "fly by night" popsingers with not much to recommend them.
