With some of the more heated discussions going on, I thought it might be fun to get a "lighter side" discussion going on, too.People have occasionally shared amusing anecdotes about space-loving children, so I thought I'd start a thread for recounting space-related stories.
The fact that I wanted to brag on my own niece had nothing to do with it, of course.
I was visiting with my four-year-old niece recently, and she was writing on a piece of paper that had a windmill on it. The picture didn't have any sort of background to give context, and she apparently had never seen a windmill before. But its four blades to strike her as very familar -- I imagine there aren't too many kids her age that would have seen that image and looked up and told me, "That's a Skylab!"
