Space Shakespearian Sonnet


I'm taking a new tack with this entry. My son composed this sonnet in his class work and I found it to be quite nice. He's currently in 4th grade and he constantly amazes me with his insight. Well I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.... he is the son of a Rocket Scientist after all.


Space Shakespearian Sonnet


Space is very vast
with a lot to see
once you're out there your are free

Saturn, oh, Saturn with your many rings
Jupiter you are so big
Neptune your color sings
Pluto only the size of a fig

Mercury the closest to the sun
Venus hot during a roam
Mars as read as a person after a run
Earth, our home

Astronomy is a great whiz
that's what I think space is

Eating Like An Astronaut


I found a couple of enterprising young chaps that have taken on the daunting task of eating like the brave men and women that call space their home. It's interesting in a simply voyeuristic way and something I'd like to pass along to you dear readers that might not frequent the Gizmodo website.

Eat Like An Astronaut


All I have to say is mmmmmmmm!
