I ran across two Canadian educational web site, closely related.

CASCA Education has nice background articles on Astronomy, specially in Canadian history, as well as modern famous Canadian astronomers. 

SpaceNow focuses on Space and has articles ranging from the Space Elevator to Human Mars Exploration.

Sometimes, the moral story is not direct, and indeed can be very deep,and sometimes it is enveloped in satire or even cynicist philosophy.
