When I was a secondary school science teacher (before I reached my ambition of being an ex-teacher), I found a lot of kids were interested in it but there didn't seem to be many people who could tell them about it apart from me!
Guess not. I think at least one generation has been lost to innerspaces of digital pleasures, games and mobiles. Very understandable though, because it has been a game-changer for all of us. But that's just a generation thing, many advances happening nevertheless.
I know what you mean Arto. Innerspace. That's a good description. Maybe from innerspace the next generation will look even further out in outer space. The cheapo channels on British TV have recently shown documentaries about how the moon landings might have been faked, which doesn't inspire confidence for space travel in impressionable teenagers does it.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will remember your space talks Kev when the first volunteers for Mars voyages are being called up!

DeleteActually, I got some really good science lessons out of demolishing the arguments used by those who were convinced the landings were faked.
DeleteKids always remember a good teacher!
