How to Survive on the Moon

Lunar Lessons from a Rocket Scientist

Narrado por: Melinda Sewak

How to Survive on the Moon, a guide to lunar survival for kids from rocket scientist Joalda Morancy, features sound design and special effects to enhance your listening enjoyment. Listen out for the sounds of a rocket ship blasting off and the lunar vehicles traveling on the moon's surface!

Humans are heading back to the moon. But once we get there, how on the moon will we stay alive? In this practical guide, future astronauts will learn how to build underground cities in lava tubes, shield themselves from razor-sharp moon dust, and grow the food they’ll need to survive life away from our home planet.

As well as practical tips, Morancy lifts a lid on some of the coolest developments in lunar science—including the possibility of building underground cities in lava tubes and the giant catapult that could be used to get stuff back to Earth.

Like Andy Weir’s The Martian everything in this space book is based on real, groundbreaking science. And no one is better placed to write it: when they’re not writing kids’ books, Joalda Morancy is building the lunar lander the Artemis missions will use to take astronauts—including the first woman and first person of color—to the surface!

Don’t leave Earth without it!
