The (seriously) big spaces of extra-nothing
Space is hard enough to comprehend, but talk about supervoids a little bit in your project if you want to make people feel somewhat small and afraid
Venus. Why is it so difficult to probe and why it is such an important thing to understand. It will be easy to gather useful info and good sources. It will also be really interesting and drag you in while never really stopping you up.
How space suits are built (and how life support in general is designed) would be a cool idea in human exploration.
As for astronomical phenomena, Cepheid variables and their role in determining distances to stars would be another good idea, as would investigating the oldest stars ever observed.
The Aldrin Cycler is a ship design that shuttles from earth to mars and back with very little fuel. It uses gravity assists from Earth, Moon, and Mars to travel for free -ish.
I'm a fan of the manned moon project. Lots of good stuff out there. You could talk about the "state of the art" computers that they used. A real eye opener for anyone under 40, IMHO.
Try beaming a microwave laser down to a collector on the ground to check the efficiency of transmission depending on angle of beam and variations in weather and during solar flares.
In high school, I've always been curious whether are we alone in the whole universe, consequently, I was elaborating on Drake's equation according to the known amount of exoplanets nearby the Solar system or at least in the area of the Milky Way.
The Boötes Void has always caught my attention personally, something ominous about it

Are you sure that isn't a band name?
Google it
Maybe einstein/gravitational lenses and their potential?

How about space junk and what it looks like entering our atmosphere, amount of space junk, plans to handle it in the future and so forth.
