This afternoon we had to decide on a crew for our rocket. Who would you take on a space voyage? What do you think of our suggestions?Neil Armstrong was a popular choice for many groups as he was the first man on the Moon and is a very experienced astronaut who could help if there were any problems.
Galileo was chosen by two groups as he supported Copernicus in realising that the Earth orbited the Sun. For this he was imprisoned by the Inquisition. He would be handy to have on a spacecraft as he could find his way around the Solar System using his fantastic telescope.
Two groups chose to take Harry Hill as a member of their crew. They thought he would be funny and entertain them!
Jamie Oliver and other popular T.V. Chefs were chosen by all groups. After finding out that most food eaten in space is dried and then re-hydrated anyone who could cook proved a popular choice.
One group thought that it would be a good idea to take Isaac Newton. They thought he would be interested in the gravity on the Moon. The Moon's gravity is six times less than the Earth's gravity.
Other suggestions included: Shane Williams, Christopher Columbus, Barney the Dinosaur, Joe Calzaghe, Star Treck Characters, Barack Obama, Albert Einstein, Po from The Telly Tubbies, Bob The Builder, Beyonce, Glenn Sax the founder of Pizza Hut and, last but not least, Mr Williams.
Many children included their parents for company, home cooking, bed making and the picking up of stray socks. One boy, who shall remain nameless wanted to take his sister for the sole purpose of stranding her on the Moon!
Log on tomorrow to find out about our next task, look at our rocket designs and prehaps listen to some of our blast off music.
