Sandown School Children 'Over The Moon' As Message Is Displayed In Outer Space

Year 5 children at The Bay CE School in Sandown have declared themselves 'over the Moon' after seeing their messages displayed in outer space.

The children saw their message to the Orion space capsule played as it orbited the Moon.
 
Artemis 1 launched in November and released the capsule which orbited the Moon and splash back down to Earth in December.
 
This was while Year 5 were learning about the Solar System as part of their Science topic.
 
Messages were displayed on the Orion control panel as it made its Orbit.
 
At nearly 235,000 miles from Earth, Year 5 had their message displayed which told of how much they are inspired with the space topic and that they wanted everyone to take care of the planet.
 
You can see the Bay CE School’s message at 4m 21s of the video below.
