Science Museum did some interesting research a while back that no one under age of 30 had heard of Neil Armstrong or ‘One small step for ..’.

I agree with what has gone before - that there is nothing wrong with the question as long as the interpretation, and exhibits provide a answer or at least the route to an answer. As both the "Cold War" and "Space Race" are at getting on for a generation ago I think that questions are the best way forward - it asks the reader to think about something that they may not know about.

Hi Gemmers

A nice opinion question.

I'm making some panels for a general audience, mainly families. I'm heading each chunk with a question such as 'What was the space race?' 'What was the cold war?' etc but have been told that this is 'for infants' and 'dumbing down'.

I thought it was a more engaging style than 'The cold war was' and 'The Space Race was'.

What do you think?

Kind regards,
