No more NASA?.. a dad to the rescue

My wife showed me this video and I thought what a great idea. With NASA no longer doing manned space flights, how are we as parents supposed to inspire our children to reach for the stars? This guy showed what one child's dream and a fathers will, can accomplish.

My son, now 10 years old, reminds me every time I get in the car to “get your seat belt on dad, what if we get in an accident dad, what if you get pulled over dad?"
