The Library Presents: Journey into Space with Sirius Astronomy

Paul Hill from Sirius Astronomy presents a fast-paced and interactive show for all the family. Through live experiments he explains the science behind how we get people safely to and from space. You will feel the warmth of a rocket engine, see what marshmallows have to do with safety in space and discover how spacesuits keep you alive. Learn how you can survive re-entry and along the way avoid some of the other traps and disasters that the cosmos has waiting for you.
