In continuing with my 40 days of Sesame Street, wherein I post awesome Sesame Street videos that showcase the issues we care about at TakePart (and which has been on a tiny hiatus) I celebrate today’s big anniversary and look at Sesame Street’s take on the moon and on space.

Sesame Street always did a great job of getting kids excited about space and exploring. In fact my favorite Sesame Street song is featured below - it stars Ernie and I have a feeling you know what it is.  Also below is a clip that features Buzz Aldrin himself!

I agree with Ernie - I’d love to visit but not to live.
