Last week I had the incredible chance to visit NASA with my husband and son ... so I'd like to talk to you about the exhibit we visited about the Atlantis shuttle.

On the NASA site, a complex is dedicated to the shuttle and presents a giant model very imposing, suspended in front of visitors. All around, more than sixty interactive activities allow young and old to sit behind the reconstitution of the command post, to maneuver the aircraft, to circulate in different sections of the aircraft, to experience a take-off simulation...

For the children, this complex is very interesting because they can move, touch and get involved in the visit. 

We enjoyed this visit and would have stayed longer if we had not been jostled by the weather... 

Looking forward,

Thank you! It's a pleasure for me to share these great discoveries!

I think space is one of the most inviting and opening scientific and technological fields for children. The amount of wonder it is able to bring people of all ages is inspiring. I am so glad we are finally seeing some renewed interest in space and space travel.
