At work today, I co-taught with another teacher. We were covering the 60's.
I got to teach about the Space Program. The other teacher does not like to teach that subject. I was thrilled.

Back when I was a high school senior/college freshman a buddy and I taught after-school rocketry classes to 4th and 5th graders at the 3 local elementary schools once a week for 5 weeks. All individually built a rocket of their choice and launched it on the 5th week.
I can remember demo launching a Mercury Redstone, Saturn 1B, Saturn V, and a 1284 Space Shuttle for them.
