I downloaded it and tried it out for about 15 minutes.  This would be a
hit with grade school students.

There are animations, diagrams, and sound effects.

You start from the space ship launchpad and learn a little about the
escape velocity required to escape earth's gravity, and then continue
to travel away from earth.  The program shows you a view back towards
the earth once in a while, along with a view of the other planets as
you begin to see them.

Between each section there is a 'quiz' that asks you questions about
the information the program just gave to you.

It is neat and fun.
