SpaceX: Making History
A rocket ship built by Elon Musk’s SpaceX company thundered away from Earth with two Americans on Saturday, beginning a new era in commercial space travel and putting the US back in the business of launching astronauts into orbit from home soil for the first time in nearly a decade.
In celebration of this historic event we have some space themed writing tasks for P7 this week.
Remember we would love to see your work, so please send to:
