Astronomy questions from kids, Part 1



Uploaded by: TheBadAstronomer
Video Description:
My friend Tina is a teacher in Austin. She asked her sixth grade students to send me questions they had about astronomy, and I answer them on camera. There were so many I had to split this into *5* parts!
This is Part 1, and these are the questions they asked me:
1) Why are you called the Bad Astronomer?
2) Have you ever been to space?
3) Do you think aliens are real?
4) If you were as scientist, what would you do? :-)
5) Is there life on other planets?
6) Will humans ever live on the Moon or Mars?
7) What's your favorite planet?
8) Pluto: planet or not?
