Destination Moon

Lunar science made awesome!

Destination Moon science show for vacation care: more missions, more science!

This show covers lunar science & rockets in a fun format for the holidays.

Discover the science required to reach the Moon and the space programs that made it all happen. From trajectories & orbits to rocketry & materials science, we’ll look at current and future space programs, operations and missions. The kids will gain an appreciation of astronomy and gain insight into our place in the Universe. Full risk assessments are available on request.
