We (humans) have walked on only two space bodies so far. Back in the 1960s a few of us walked on the Moon. What is the other space body?

Space isn't one of the basic BPS science topics. Some things about the Sun and Moon are learned in fifth grade (Measuring TIme). Many of us are greatly fascinated by it, however, so it is squeezed in at the Manning. Fifth, third, and second graders learn some of the basics about the Solar System with Ms. Theroux.
