This event was scheduled with the intention to give the students a better insight into our Solar System and to let them observe our Sun. We tried for two days, but in the end Frank Garner and Theo Ramakers had to settle for an event without observing the Sun. However, the students were very much impressed with the program we presented. They flew with us through the Solar System, while we kept looking how gravity affects space travelers. They hunted for Asteroids, learned how to identify space rocks from earth rocks and how we slow down at reentry to land on a planet. Great students and great teachers!!
