It's natural to question... just look up. On the other hand, when you can get instant gratification with your friends from a video game... that's another story.

I watched History Channel's 'Failure is Not An Option' series with Nasa's (retired ) flight director, Gene Krantz last week. I got to the point that I greatly 'sugested' that we would all sit together and watch that show (a two parter). The kids were a bit bored because they knew the history behind the shows, but I blame video games for their impatience. They and most of today's youth have no idea that it takes a lot of hard work and drive in order to Actually Achieve the goals that these men (and women) set out to do FOR REAL.

At the end of that series, Gene Krantz wholeheartedly emphasized, the importance of science in our classrooms.

Yes, we have an IMAX theater nearby and absolutely we will all go to see Roving Mars (ok, but darn it, I wish it had a wee bit more science explanation to it, mho) :)
