It blows my mind how far we have come

Suggest me your favorite spaceflight video's to share with a four year old

My four year old son loves video's of the lunar landing, space rocket launches and the like. Consider how awesome it would be, growing up in a time when people are landing on the moon! I've been trying to find more video's for him, but it seems easier said than done. My requirements are somewhat specific and I'm hoping this community can help me instill wonder in my son ;) What I need are video's that show realistic image of spaceflight, but in such a way that I can explain what is happening. Video's of Artemis missions, spaceshuttle or the ISS would be best. Also, less talking is better, because most dialogue just goes to fast for him to follow and if it isn't Dutch he wouldn't understand it anyway. (I taught him 'the Eagle has landed', which quite confounded the daycare xD) Finally, I try to keep his screentime limited so video's should not be longer than 10mins. It goes without saying that I do not want anything related to conspiracy theories or pseudoscience.

i may be dumb but i need help or else my mind will blow up (why can everyone see the moon)

Ok so basically, i made this picture that i think explains the question but ill say it anyways. So the moon is always there, always somewhat looking at us even during the day but its just less visible bc of the sunlight. And how do people from the complete opposite side of earth can also see it if the moon isnt above their side of earth????????? Its probably an easy thing that i my parents had forgotten to teach me when i was a kid but i will not be able to sleep with no answers so please help lol https://preview.redd.it/o3p4qnldbvxa1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=8185bd79b17a64d4246cadb3d3746386854a9503

Astronomers Witness Star Devouring Planet: Possible Preview of the Ultimate Fate of Earth

School project

So I need to do a google forms questionnaire and I need professionals from an area of interest of mine, and I thought that maybe if I ask here I would get a couple of answers. I know it’s not really astronomy related but from where I’m from there isn’t many people who are willing to answer the formulary firstly because astronomy isn’t really a big thing here, so not a lot of people to ask and secondly, those who are professionals don’t end up answering because they think it’s spam. So I thought it would be worth it giving a try here even though it bends the rules a little but I need someone from this specific area to answer, plus I only need like 10 people it at minimum. So if anyone is willing to help, here’s the forms below https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfrs-sGh96V5tftlPwfXOK2zm6E6r2ZkU0tbfQC1hdI3ToiDA/viewform Thank you whoever answers it.
