太空技術和火箭發射的最新事件！ 8-10歲

Teacher Tom was featured as a top educator on Outschool's EPIC Spotlight for being a Passion-Driven Educator in 2021!

During this class, we will be talking about the latest happenings in Space Technology and Rocket Launches!

The class will be a combination of slides, videos, and discussions, and learners can jump in and share their thoughts or ask questions at any point. They can also bring up topics they've seen or read about.

The class will begin with a big list of exciting things that have happened, are happening, or are about to happen in Space Technology & Rocket Launches.  We will discuss these to get everyone on the same page, and outline what we will be seeing in class. Then we will move out to the visuals.

The discussions will be a combination of current events as they are happening, along with space technology and rocket science questions that your learner brings to the table. There is not a pre-determined schedule, as there are new advances in space technology and new rocket launches all the time. 

For example:
- SpaceX Starship Rocket 
- International Space Station
- SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket
- United Launch Alliance (Rocket Company)
- Blue Origin (Rocket Company)
- Starlink Satellites (New space-based internet technology)
- Discussion of the progression of rocket types over the years. (NASA Space Shuttle program, etc.)
- SpaceX Starship History

Please note that this is not an astronomy class, although we will see some discoveries from time to time.
