NASA and Disney Invite Kids to Explore Space With Wall-E

So here's something I didn't know (maybe because I haven't been reading a lot of the news lately). It appears that NASA and Disney has some sort of a Space Act Agreement. As one of the acts of such agreement, they are promoting Disney-Pixar's Wall-E.

This collaboration highlights the similarities between the movie's storyline and NASA's real-life work in robot technology, propulsion systems and astrophysics. Disney-Pixar's WALL-E is set 700 years in the future. The film's main character is the only rover-robot left on Earth. He meets a new robot named Eve, and together they take a journey through the universe.

"Great ideas for future exploration of the universe start with the imagination," said Robert Hopkins, chief of strategic communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "We hope that with the help of our new robot friend WALL-E, NASA can encourage young people to learn about science and technology and become the explorers of tomorrow."

This actually sounds interesting if it is effective.

Now, if NASA can actually participate in such a thing, how about getting them to also participate in ramping up or having an exhibition/area in Innoventions at Epcot? I know they were heavily involved in Mission Space, but it wouldn't hurt if they emphasize some of the science they are doing at NASA at the Innoventions pavilion. Wouldn't that makes sense as well?
