It teaches children and adults so much about our planets!!! Also, I love the poster!!! It's so educational! It gives a wonderful presentation of the Solar System..and it's spaced out so you can see each and every planet! If you have a child and they are studying the Solar System, or are just interested in it..This is the program for you!!!
Space Race is a fully animated action packed web series via www.spaceracekids.com that teaches about space and includes lots of space travel and racing -- entertaining and kid/parent friendly too (note: series directed by Emmy award winner; animation reminds people of the movie CARS).

SPACE RACE Animated Web Series Ready for Lift Off
Emmy Award Winner Mark Risley Directs; Speakaboos Partners to Launch “Journey to Space Month”
New York – March 2011 – Space Race (www.spaceracekids.com), winner of a Kids First! Award for best screenplay for children, will launch today as a fully animated, action packed web series focusing on space education, space travel and racing. Directed by Emmy award winning director Mark Risley, each Space Race webisode is hosted by “Gary Galaxy,” played by children’s theatrical star Meyer deLeeuw. Space Race has also partnered with Speakaboos, the award-winning publisher of digital children’s stories, to launch “Journey to Space Month” April 1st.
“Space Race is action-packed and humorous with educational components as well,” says Richard Schweiger, CEO and executive producer of Space Race. “Each webisode features an interview with one of our star characters and an education module which will provide more detail about a certain part of our solar system; Eagle Wingstrong teaches about Earth, Vulture Albatross: space stations, Colonel Coot: Mars and so on.” Meyer deLeeuw, who will host as Gary Galaxy, is an experienced children’s entertainer; as lead character “Joe,” he toured hundreds of North American cities for Nickelodeon’s live theatrical stage show, “Blue’s Clues Live!” “We are very excited to have Meyer on board,” says Schweiger.
During Journey to Space Month, Speakaboos stories and games will revolve around space themes. Children will be able to watch Space Race episodes and engage in related interactive games, widgets, educational guides, trivia and more. “We see an underserved market demanding space related education, themes and storylines,” says Julian Cohen, Chief Marketing Officer. He says, “With Speakaboos, we can meet the needs of parents, teachers and anyone interested in learning more about space through a completely immersive and ‘out of this world’ experience.”
Cohen explains the website content in depth saying, “It’s engaging and informative. Parents can interact with their children while everyone learns more about space.” Space Race games include Galaxy Adventure 3D (a “Mario Kart” style racing game) and Trivia, while the “What Spaceship are You?” widget will enable children to answer a series of fun questions to figure out which Space Race character most resembles their personalities and interests.
A parents and teachers section will include educational guides, supplements and flash cards. The printable items incorporate Space Race characters, themes and activities. Some curriculum sections include: Arts + Crafts: Build Your Own Spaceship; Recipes: Moon Balls; and Picture Puzzle: Space Race. Parents and teachers will be able to promote a love of space, exploration and adventure using Space Race themed flash cards. An electronic coloring page allows kids to color in their own Space Race characters and pictures before printing them out and sharing with friends and family. Schweiger says, “The kids will have you clearing some refrigerator door space so they can proudly display their creations.”
