Jumping on the Moon

A pretty grim forecast necessitated an indoor approach and by happy coincidence located 7 miles from the apartment was the main European Space Agency Testing site and for PR spin they had a visitor centre which had pretty good visitor recommendations. Too good an opportunity to pass up. Laid back morning and headed out to arrive it seems just at the same time as a couple of school trips were finishing lunch & heading back in pretty excitedly. Urgh. Studiously avoided wherever they were. Yet again little England and Thatcher have meant the UK missed out. Learned a lot about all the satellite work that the ESA do and how it all comes through this site. How Holland was involved in The Artemis program. Really interesting and frustrating at the same time. Some fun interactive stuff aimed at the school kids but enjoyed by all. Jumping on the moon was good. Finished up with another Dutch classic apparently - Apple Tart. A cross between apple pie and crumble. Definitely hit the spot.Read more
