In celebration of Neil Armstrong’s connection to Birr Castle, this two hour family workshop investigates the world of human space exploration from rocket launches to in-depth lunar discovery. How might the moon be used as a base for a human space flight to Mars? Explore how, why and when craters were formed on the moon’s surface. Build your own lunar buggy to overcome this bumpy surface.
