Suggestion : Make space (Moon, Mars, Universe) appetizing.
Make a descriptive map with all the latest knowledge about e.g. moon.
What minerals have been spotted
10 highest mountains
10 deepest valleys
Any riverbeds left
Highest temperatures measured
Lowest temperatures measured
Moon soil comparable to earth soil?
Theory about the moon being part of earth
Theory about the moon coming from elsewhere hitting the
earth around the pacific ocean?
People are inquisitive, like to learn.
Think young. Some people stay young their whole life.

With all this talk about unknown craters, the following
freeware
program might be handy:
"Virtual Moon Atlas" by Christian Legrand and
Patrick Chevalley.
It is available at http://astrosurf.com/avl/UK_index.html
and features the a 3D real time display of the moon
(including lighting conditions), but you can also set an
arbitrary date to display. It contains an extensive database
of features including all landing sites (Apollo,
Surveyor, etc.). It also contains >1000 pictures of
formations
from the "Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Moon".

Thanks to your quotation about Romance and Reality.
I have made some 12 more quiz questions about life on the moon.
I am not sure that the answers represent the latest knowledge, as some
papers were from years ago.
Maybe you know some experts who can give a final and correct answer.
Do with these as you think fit.
Wishing you luck with your enthusiasm for going out.
