It would be an understatement to say that Lucas Whiteley's school project made him the star of his class (pun intended), what with space scientists contributing to his early academic papers and all that.
When the young British student faced problems with his project on space he went straight to the experts. With the help of his dad, he posted a video to NASA with his question.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, his father explained, "When I was a kid I wrote to NASA and got a brochure, so I thought we might be lucky if we sent a video of Lucas asking questions.."
What caught them with surprise though was NASA's 10 minute video response, along with a virtual tour of their base in California. Watch what their responses were:
