Which interesting space stuff would you suggest to do with a 13yo kid?
My son is fascinated with spaceships. He is addicted to the game Kerbal Space and follows everything about Space X, Nasa and other companies.
How can I stimulate his curiosity?

The first time I got to try using a telescope (the day a friend bought one), the very first object I saw was Saturn and seeing the rings with my own eyes was a very different experience than knowing they exist or having seen picture of them.

Use it to pick up weather satellites with the included antenna. Can spend ~$100 more to get images from the GOES satellites. Can use it to listen to ham radio, and local repeaters. Can use it during SSTV events to get images from the ISS https://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/
Also micro satellites are becoming a thing. Strap a camera to a weather balloon, that kind of stuff.
