It’s goodbye from Jess after she suggests how you could continue to investigate moons, or other science topics, if we have left you wanting more.

- describe and be aware of the history of discovery and exploration of moons, and of future prospects
- reflect and suggest ways in which resources from the Moon may help future space exploration.
Well done for completing this eight-week course, Moons of our Solar System. If it took you longer, there’s no shame in that. It will depend on how much time you had available, and on how much time you spent on the non-core (‘bonus’) material such as related links.
