Giving the Astronauts a push on the moon. The Virginia Air & Space Center in Hampton, Virginia recently opened a wonderful new exhibition gallery - "Space Quest - Exploring the Moon, Mars & Beyond." In a few minutes you can take a "6-month journey to Mars" in a Space Ship - and step out into a universe of outer space explorations and exhibits. All of the exhibits offer great chances for you to take pictures of your children in outer space locations. Rather than take the tradition "look at the camera and smile" kid pictures, why not take some shots of them involved with the exhibits. The above scene of Eric apparently "pushing" a landing craft on the moon was too good to miss. True confessions. We "staged" this picture, and Eric added his own imagination to the job.
