      I would use the money to buy an enormous 3 meter inflatable Moon to be used at the Open University’s Moon Night 2020 in December! This is an interactive Moon science event where school children (from primary to secondary school) come to learn lots of exciting things about the Moon! A 3 meter Moon would fill most peoples living rooms quite easily and it would have all of the details of the Moon on it e.g. all of the craters and different shades of grey that we can see from Earth! Seriously fun 🙂

      I’ve done a few outreach events where we demonstrate a rocket launch using a big water bottle and some alcohol, I would like to make a more detailed (and hopefully a bit safer) version that could be easily taken around to schools/events and used with a small amount of training.
