Yr10 Space Trip June 2014....student comments....

I thought that the science trip was amazing. Some of the lectures were very inspiring. I was surprised that you don't need an A Level to get into the companies, also it was very interesting to hear about how strong metal objects are made very light. My favourite part of the trip was the planetarium movie (we are astronomers) the exibits and facts around the museum.

I learned a lot from this trip and constantly enjoyed myself. The planetarium was one of the most immersive experiences I have ever had

David Burley

Throughout the duration of this trip, I learnt a lot about careers in Astronomy and Space. I really enjoyed the planetarium as it felt very realistic.

I liked the talks with the different people that do the same but different things in the space company and the different things to do there like the nos con of a space rocket and short moves.

Really liked the planetarium with the 360 view of space, enjoyed the museum and learnt about some inspiring careers. Charlie Porter

The trip was interesting and entertaining at all times, and I thoroughly enjoyed the "We are astronomers" in the planetarium. The keynote speech kept me extremely interested and entertained.

I enjoyed the trip, which I thought was interesting, inspiring, and fun! In particular, I liked the "We Are Astronomers" segment in the planetarium, which featured a stellar (pun not intended) narration from David Tennant. The trip also inspired me to look further into science, particularly astrophysics.

I really enjoyed the trip! I had no idea about the vast industry which is British Space. This was possibly the most fascinating and educational trip I've been on with LSA. It's nice to see subjects (science) start doing school trips other than the common geography and history trips that are run regularly. I hope to be involved in more trips like this in the future as it has broadened my horizons in the field of science.   -Jake Jurin :)

The space trip mostly consisted of lectures, which most people think is a bad thing, but they were actually very interesting. We learned a lot about how the parts and materials necessary for space travel are designed and manufactured, and saw some cool things such as a Soyuz spacecraft. It really opened my eyes to how active Britain is in the space industry, and how you don't need a degree in astrophysics to work in the space industry (but of course it is better to have one anyway because space). - Cameron Hughes

I got to eat lunch under a rocket and saw a space suit for a dog. 10/10 -Owen Brown
