What is Space Circus?
'Space appeals to boys and girls of all ages, abilities and cultures. It connects to unanswered questions, large scale resources and innovative technologies. Beyond science, it has global, environmental, ethical, humanitarian and enterprise dimensions. No other theme offers as much opportunity to interest, motivate and influence young people.'
The Case for Space. June 2006. Paul Spencer.
Commissioned by Space Connections/PPARC/BNSC/EADS Astrium.
Space Circus is a new and innovative way of introducing moral, ethical, scientific, mathematical and engineering concepts through the context of space. The show and its associated activities also provide sponsorship opportunities by way of:
