I remember my grade 8 science fair project almost 25 years ago, I also did asteroids. I flung marbles at a cake pan full of coffee and flour to make impact craters... Meanwhile today's kids are actually trying to solve problems. Good for them.
Kids were trying to solve problems 25 years ago, too, even if you weren't.
I was trying to solve a problem too. How to get a passing grade on something I put together an hour before the fair, lol
Ugh. A video story. Instead of actually reading, we can painstakingly watch a clip as someone else does a sloooowwww voiceover.
Did the asteroids originate from Klendathu? Send in the Mobile Infantry?
Would you like to know more?
