Space Day poems

The rockets rise into the sky,
The stars are calling us to roam.
May all your dreams take flight up high
And always guide you safely home!

Happy Space Day, reach for the stars!
May success be truly yours,
From the Moon to distant Mars,
Opening the widest doors!

Gift ideas for Space Day

A space fan will love themed gifts: a telescope, a star map, a model rocket, a book on space history or a Moon night light. Flowers make the greeting unusual: a lilac orchid recalls the mysterious cosmos and blooms for months, while tall long-stem roses look like rockets heading skyward.
