[MACEP] NASA for kids

This is what I get for reading slashdot on a Sunday.  Aside from bumping
into a very brief review of my firefox extension (
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1501/ for the morbidly curious), I
also ran into a writeup on the newly-revamped NASA for Kids site, and
thought it worth sharing.  I can see a lot they could do to improve it,
but there are still a lot of activities there - not just the
sit-down-at-the-computer kind either.  I'm personally going to try out
the "Shuttle Dog" activity out on my daughter for lunch.

Overall, I give it an 8/10, plus a bonus point because I'm a space geek
and think it's great that NASA is putting in the effort to raise interest:
