001 - Curiosity

The Mars Science Laboratory 'Curiosity' is currently roaming the red (not pink) planet. Darren and Lizzy talk about who made this rover, how it got to Mars and how many wheels he has on martian soil.

Goodnight Moon are the nights I share with my daughter my sheer awe of the cosmos and pride in our space program. In this mini podcast I teach Elizabeth space exploration, astronomy and history. To ignite the spark of curiosity and cause her skyward gaze to be filled with wonder.

If you would like to contribute to our patreon you will be not only helping me produce this show but allowing me to purchase books, videos and field trips to better communicate the wonders of space and science to Lizzy. My hope is that Goodnight Moon will be something that can be shared with your own children and lead to many great discussions about space and exploration.
