I got my kids started (especially my son) using it as a game.
Because textbooks never really show how far the planets are from each other.... I taught my son the planets, and then took him for a ride and pulled over every time we got to the "next planet" (not true toscale, but for effect) I'd drive for about a half mile for mercury, then 5 miles for Venus...etc.... until we arrived in GA at Pluto with "sun" (home) behind in central FL.

I distract myself when stretching during track or in the dentist's chair by trying to remember three facts about surface geography and the first probe to visit, in order out from Mercury.
