Ross from Base 12 has been working incredibly hard on his space project over the last couple of weeks.
He started by watching the Oak National Academy assembly on Discovery, with the British astronaut, Helen Sharman, talking about her visit to the Mir Space Station. He then really enjoyed watching the SpaceX Launch online and followed Bob and Doug’s journey to the International Space Station on Crew Dragon. Inspired by what he’d watched, he completed a fun Space themed activity book and learnt lots of facts about space and the solar system. He shared his favourite facts with us on a giant fact sheet and coloured pictures of the Earth, Sun, Saturn, a satellite, an astronaut and an alien to decorate it.
His favourite fact from his research (and one I still can’t get over) was that a full NASA space suit costs a whopping £12 million pounds!
