Thank you Alexander! Great pics!
They induced a search into a few fun moon facts – https://www.space.com/55-earths-moon-formation-composition-and-orbit.html

followed by “What Would We See If The Moon Rotated Every 24 Hours?”

hehehe… fascinating! Yet, I wonder how we could use your pics and fun facts about the moon to interest younger children into learning a little more about mathematics or physics or compounds or astronomy or perhaps even get them to broach deeper subjects like “Why is the moon not perfectly spherical?” or “What set the moon into its specific and fixed rotation?”…

Hi there! You may enjoy this video on Nuclear propulsion:

Particularly, I enjoyed the discussion surrounding Specific Impulse – “a measure of how efficiently a reaction mass engine creates thrust.” – wikipedia
From here you are going to rapidly warm up to 2 options: the Nuclear Thermal engine option using Hydrogen fuel or the Nuclear Electric engine option using Xenon or Krypton fuel.
What a great topic to learn about Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and more! I wonder how I could introduce this as a transversal module (testable across subjects) at schools? Any ideas?
