I don't know if it's feasible for you, but if you can, try to take your kid to see a live rocket launch. The TV is grossly unable to display how awesome these things are in person.

The scale really is unfathomable for the human brain.

It is one of the things I regret not ever getting to see a shuttle launch. The closest I ever got was when I flew over Florida while a shuttle was on the pad.

And a landing! S Padre is great for kids and rockets.

For the more adventurous and/or bilingual the beaches on the Mexican side seem to have awesome views too.
