Try to catch a webcast of a rocket launch live, and watch it together. SpaceX's webcasts are usually informative with good camera feeds, etc. There are phone apps that keep track of launch dates. Try to find one that fits your schedule, but be aware that they are subject to weather.
I recommend this HBO series, From Earth to the Moon (Amazon Link). There's also the new movie Hidden Figures that came out. I haven't seen it, but reviews are good so far. It has female role models for your daughter to look up to.
When you do get the funds to travel to the US, you can book a tour with JPL in California or visit NASA's Kennedy Center in Florida. I highly recommend the Kennedy Visitor Center as it probably has too much for one day much like Disneyland.
Buy her space related things when it comes to Halloween costumes, LEGOs, Christmas ornaments, or whatever. LEGOs are inspirational and can help foster a creative mind.
I knew I didn't pay that much for it, so I looked it up. It's funny, because when I Google it, I get this link for the four-disc "collector's edition" for almost $90. So I went back into my purchase history and found the version I bought for only $16.47 - I had actually gotten it for $12-and-change. The five-disc one is cropped to 16:9, the four-disc is the original 4:3 aspect ratio. Not having seen the original, I would never have known it was cropped.
I'm honestly surprised that HBO hasn't remastered this for HD. I'd be really surprised if they didn't produce it on film, given the production values HBO is known for. Visual effects can be touched up, and it is a very high-quality series that would do at least well enough on Blu-Ray to justify the expense of remastering.
I think that was Apollo 12, had a good episode in 'From The Earth To The Moon' mini-series all about that. Pretty funny!
