Jacques Peke finds out a little of what it feels like to be a Russian cosmonaut at a space demonstration at Ohakune Primary School on Friday. The demonstration was put on by Lynne Hargie from Destination Education, an Australian company that provides programmes to show that "science is fun". The presentation included footage from NASA showing various aspects of their space programme, including how to drink Coke while it floats in space and how to go to the toilet in space! A spectacular exhibit was one using a hydrogen-filled balloon to show what happens to rocket fuel. Most of the exhibits on show were Russian as they had recently sold offa lot of space memorabilia to raise money (one space glove cost Destination Education $3000).
