You can get a suitably topical taste for space at New Media’s Journey to Mars website (for science students aged 9-18), created to support the European Space Agency’s first exploration of the red planet with the Mars Express probe. Some materials and services are free, but full benefit from the project incurs costs (eg pound;40 per key stage for printed materials, pound;25 for assembly presentation, pound;74.95-pound;149.95 for different versions of Earth and the Sun CD-Rom).
