Editorial Review: Product Description: Blast off to the farthest reaches of the universe in a provocative overview of mankind's fascination with space. From the first rocket launch of the 1950s, and the 'space race' that ensued, to present-day wonders like the Hubble Space Telescope and the Mir space station, young space enthusiasts will learn about the exciting history and future of space travel and even follow a day in the life of an astronaut in this out-of-this-world addition to the popular Eyewitness series. Amazon.com Review: What's cooler than outer space? Kids and adults alike will enthusiastically assert that astronauts, space ships, and rocket science are some of the most fascinating subjects on (or rather, off) earth. Space Exploration, a stellar addition to Dorling Kindersley's Eyewitness Books series, does this immensely popular topic justice. Learn why astronauts take passports into space! Discover the perplexing mechanics of using a toilet while weightless! View a model of the first planned space station! Kids can also read up on subjects like the space race, moon landings, astronaut fashion, dangers and disasters, and science in space. Abundant full-color photos of everything from dogs in spacesuits to views from satellites complete this zero-gravity exploration, and ensure that if your children weren't already space-obsessed, there will be no turning back now.

But then I also remember when we stopped going ... Read More Rating: - This book is full of information."Eyewitness Space Exploration" Tells about space and its many factors. I recommened this book for those who a really in to space (rockets, going to the moon, that kind of thing.) Rating:  - Eyewitness Space ExplorationThe Eyewitness Space Exploration is a good book. Did you ever wonder how it would be to be an astronaut? Or how long to train for the journey? To find out these answers, read this book. Rating: - A nice book.This book was fine, and tells all the rockets and rocket launches, space shuttles, the landing on the moon and a whole lot more stuff. I would have gave this book 3 and a half stars if I could but since you can't use half stars on Amazon.com I decided to use 4 stars. |
