here's a question the Lounge can probably really help with

5 year old grandson suddenly loves space.
Are there any good space flight or exploration sites for a 5 year old.
BTW he is a budding Sheldon Cooper. If we can't find something to salve his curiosity he may build his own rocket and take off.

Also parks often have observatories for the public. See the real thing.

It's a great site for kids, and adults may learn something too. Check it out, I think you and your grandson will like it.
