Resumen del Editor
Did you know that astronauts work on Earth and in space to study places beyond our planet's atmosphere? But there's a lot more to space travel than just research. With no gravity, a wild schedule that includes 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every 24 hours, and no fresh food, it can be a challenge to stay healthy in orbit. Public and private space agencies are working to solve these problems as humans travel farther and more frequently into the depths of space. Learn more about the daily lives of astronauts and how they live, work, and prepare for the future in space.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Space is a perennially high-interest topic, and while there are plenty of series on the subject, these titles in the Space Discovery Guides series stand out from the crowd with plenty of up-to-date content, engaging layouts, and a lively tone. Astronauts covers notable space travelers, challenges facing people who visit space, and what astronauts can help researchers on Earth learn. With increased space exploration and satellite activity, space junk is a becoming a significant problem, and Garbage in Space highlights how space came to be filled with man-made debris, its effect on space travel, and current efforts to curb the problem. Mars Missions lays out the technical challenges of traveling to Mars, discoveries made by rovers in the past couple of decades, and projects currently in the works to eventually send humans to the red planet. Legislative changes have opened up the field of space travel innovation, and Private Space Travel offers an informative survey of key players, advancements made by private companies, and future of space tourism. Each title is packed with photos and diagrams, all of which are clearly labeled, but the real star is the fascinating, current information, which fills every page. Space-obsessed kids will find plenty to wonder over in these slim but meaty volumes." (Booklist, starred review)
