I also bought The Sentinel Hardcover – 1983 by Arthur C. Clarke and Golden Apples of the Sun, The Paperback – November 1, 1997 by Ray Bradbury, so I must admit I have had my head in books rather than looking up.
I think this is great and certainly what will help us to really make it happen if the kids don't lose the dream by the time they grow up.
Hopefully your school system has some teachers that will help them learn how to turn their dreams into reality.
Build the electric motor out of nails and bell wire. :-) [as we did in my fourth grade class with Mr. Peavy]
Or build a robot kit. http://www.

My son (James) went to a parents evening at my grandson's (Dylan)
nursery (preschool) today.
Dylan will be 3 come next February.
Anyway, one reported exchange with one of the staff goes as follows:
Dylan: "I'm going to the Moon on my rocket."
Staff: "What will you see on the Moon?"
Dylan: "The Earth."
I think it's profound that he can handle that concept already.
(Mind you, he can also name more dinosaurs than you or I can think of!)
By all means share this little tale with the others Looking Up. I'm
mightily proud of both my son and his!

If you have too much light pollution to actually look up and see much then maybe a substitute is look on-line.

It was fun seeing more detail in the book and the 3D imaging in the Movie was helpful as well.
I hope we get as much detail from real missions to the Moon and Mars, should I live that long. :-)

5 Big Differences Between The Martian Book And The Movie
If you're looking for a good time at the movies, The Martian is a steely eyed missile man of entertainment. With a nearly record breaking opening for the first weekend in October, the Ridley Scott directed / Drew Goddard written adaptation of Andy Weir's best-selling novel is pretty faithful to the text. But despite Mark Watney's smart-assed humor and scientific prowess still making the grade, along with the scores of other details most inferior adaptations would forget, there are still five major changes that the film adaptation has made. While these changes don't ruin The Martian at all, they are still big enough that they should be discussed.

Ray Bradbury is a modern cultural treasure. His disarming simplicity of style underlies a towering body of work unmatched in metaphorical power by any other American storyteller. And here, presented in a new trade edition, are thirty-two of his most famous tales--prime examples of the poignant and mysterious poetry which Bradbury uniquely uncovers in the depths of the human soul, the otherwordly portraits of outre fascination which spring from the canvas of one of the centurys great men of imagination. From a lonely coastal lighthouse to a sixty-million-year-old safari, from the pouring rain of Venus to the ominous silence of a murder scene, Ray Bradbury is our sure-handed guide not only to surprising and outrageous manifestations of the future, but also to the wonders of the present that we could never have imagined on our own.
