The National Science Museum, London offers access to images of thousands of fascinating objects from the Museum’s great science collections. The Exploring Space gallery contains a host of rockets, satellites, space probes and landers. The children were able to find out how the space age started in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik 1 and how we’ve gone on to launch thousands of satellites around Earth, send spacecraft to other planets, walk on our Moon and peer into the heart of our galaxy and beyond.

Later the children watched Flying to the Moon at the IMAX 3D CINEMA.  In 1969 three astronauts dared to go where no man had gone before; the moon. Today, the Science Museum presents Fly Me to the Moon 3D, an animated IMAX film that will take you back to that historic moment. With truly immersive 3D animation you will be transported deep into the action to become part of this amazing story. Join three tween-aged flies as they sneak on board the Apollo 11 mission for an incredible space adventure. Fly Me to the Moon 3D will introduce you to space exploration and the momentous occasion when the world was united for man’s first steps on the Moon.

The difference between the IMAX Experience and watching a film at a conventional cinema is the feeling that you don't merely watch a film - you feel as if you are actually there - inside the human body, fighting for survival in Antarctica or plunging into the depths of the sea. The key to this experience is cinema's largest film frame, being projected by the world's most sophisticated projector onto a huge screen that encompasses the viewer's peripheral vision.

Explaining to the children about space The machine predicts what will happen in technology advancement in 20 years and one of the fact is that men will give birth!
