Visit to Cité de l’espace

Autumn Break 387

On the 2nd day of our trip,  we made a last minute decision to visit the Cité de l’espace, a theme park in Toulouse oriented towards space and the conquest of space.

Malcolm had a whale of a time even though everything was in French. He took picture with a full size Ariane 5 rocket, played with numerous interactive exhibits, had an expedition to Mars, collected some Mars rocks, saw how astronaut drinks were made, visited a mock up Russian Mir space station, saw how the astronauts live on board, tried star gazing through a telescope, shot a water rocket.

and here’s a video of him putting the Ariane 5 rocket together with other kids. He was the shortest but laughed the loudest during the later part of the video.

    He only recently learned this weird artificial way of laughing. When I asked him where he learned that from, he said NO ONE.
