Have your kids ever asked those amazing questions about the sky and space?  How far away are the stars?  What is life like on another planet?  And what about aliens?

Yep, full of curiosity and questions — such a good thing!  Our Discover & Explore linky featured rockets and space exploration last week and we had some really fun ideas that were shared.
