Messages from space - Gagarin celebration at MOSI

We had a brilliant time yesterday. We were making and launching rockets with the museum's fabulous presenters and 'sending' messages to and from space at MOSI, all in celebration of Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space 50 years ago. Kids were asked to write messages that they would send back to Earth if they were the first person in space. Here are our favourites...






Festival Director, Natalie Ireland, making rockets.



















"I have reached the moon. Let's get cake when I come back."
























"Hello Mum. You are the Jupiter in my solar sytem. XXX"
























"In the future we may discover bacterial life on Europa. Please can I be alive to see that."
 Check out the rest of the photos on our Flickr group. Thanks to everyone who came along and participated. We had over 200 messages and they were all fantastic!
