Clue #3: Keywords - International, Space

[Kimberly Flack]

In the United States you would head to one of the incredible Smithsonian Museums to view a collection such as this. The US headed into a race to be the best in this scientific area under President John F. Kennedy. Today, the US collaborates internationally to conduct exploration of this final frontier.

I am not a fan of astronomy - I can't get my head around it,,it freaks me out. Even visiting the virtual Space Museum gave me some shivers up my spine. About the only way I can relate to the topic at all is through history and the political implications of space travel or via a new episode of Dr. Who.

A PBS search for "Space Race" resulted in 27 resources,,my favorite of which is the interactive timeline. Neat! http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/astrospies/timeline.html

But the greater question is ,,,,are there any resources regarding Dr. Who?
Hehe,.,.yes! Here: http://www.pbs.org/teachers/search/results.html?q=%22doctor+who%22&... you can buy several series sets of Dr. Who including Season 3 with the adorable Scottish David Tennant playing Dr. Who!

this spot was gorgeous....

A universe of space related material can be found with relative ease. Far easier, and safer, than the exploration of space itself. I was able to locate the following:

This space station game is great. Very much like trying to position yourself to take a picture while flying in SL
