Flight Workshop with Bill Graham on Friday 6th September

Bill Graham is an engineer.  He visited us as part of the International Science Festival.  He told us about flight.  He explained about how people invented flying machines which travel in our atmosphere, like aeroplanes.  He explained about machines which travel in space, and how they get outside the Earth's atmosphere.  They are called Spacecraft.

Bill showed us the Mars Rover he built.

Bradley and Joshua are remotely controlling the Rover.  They are watching the pictures it sends back to the screen by radio signal.  It would take 30 minutes for the signals to travel back to Earth from Mars.
