Space Science, Applied

Cameron is learning about space at school right now, and he's clearly been paying attention. As we were driving home one afternoon, we listened to the end of Peter Pan on CD. Wendy, now a grown-up, is watching her own daughter fly away with Peter. She gazes out the window at them until they are "as small as stars." From the back seat, Cameron pipes up, "That's ridiculous. Stars are actually even bigger than the sun, they're just farther away from us!"

He also related that he and some friends had tried to "dig down to the the center of the earth," but were foiled because of the ground cover under the sandbox. "We were ALMOST there!" he complained!
