The fascinating science behind some of these questions is explaining by STEM characters who occupy key space jobs – the space geologist, the cosmologist, the quantum physicist, the astronomer, and of course, the astronaut – who distil complex subjects with humour and playfulness, appealing to a kids hungry to know more about space, the universe and our place in it.
