This book discusses the race to the Moon, today's space shuttles and their missions, and the rocket planes and space stations that could shape our future.
Quick Summary
This book blasts through history from the Moon landing to tomorrow's space stations, showing kids how we went from the first satellite to living in orbit. Readers get an inside look at real astronaut training, wild rocket plane concepts, and the behind-the-scenes story of space shuttle missions that most textbooks never cover. If your kid loves the National Geographic Kids "Space" books or wants more after finishing the "Space Encyclopedia," they will devour this fast-paced tour of humanity's greatest adventure. Perfect for kids in grades 4-6 who can handle a 7.6 reading level but want something shorter and more visual than a typical chapter book.
