Space present for 9yr old.

[Efour]

Is that Cosimo's Spanish cousin?

Some say...

oops

 

[Ayahuasca]

Take him to Jodrell Bank for the day.

This or something similar.

Anything you buy will likely be used a few times and forgotten about.

A good day out is usually far more memorable.

 

[Skeeter]

Lego Space Shuttle (the new, smaller City one, rather than the very rare Adventure/Expedition set that's now discontinued).

 

[Combat squirrel]

Take him to Jodrell Bank for the day.

This, I had tons of space books that are gone now but I still remember my visit to jodrell bank

 

[Glaucus]

Student visa to study at university in America. So so many cool competitions and projects over there.

More seriously, books as already mentioned.

Haven't seen any good educational space toys.

Take him to Jodrell Bank for the day.

Never heard of this place! I think this could be the winner (more for myself) plus the little lego kit.

 

[Tummy]

The Space Centre in Leicester was pretty cool when I went (granted it was many years ago) and besides that, have you thought about something LEGO?

 

[Brutal biff]

Take him to Jodrell Bank for the day.

Leicester space centre more for kids the cinema there is very good

 

[ScoTTyBEEE]

a plot of land on the moon (there's the sun too but that's currently under ownership dispute)... pretty sure they're ok

oh... it looks like they're now selling plots on mars and venus too.

How many space loving 9 year olds can say they own a piece of the moon/mars/venus/sun

That's a great present, for a moron.

Why don't you just name a star after him. lolz.

I at least picked one which he can easily see
