There’s no-one better than Tim Peake to inspire young readers to look up into the night sky or to answer their questions about the universe and the billions of planets it contains. With man about to return to the Moon and the first human mission to Mars getting ever closer, space exploration has never felt so current or so real.
This book, illustrated throughout, is a virtual guide to some of the planets in mankind’s sights and is full of information on how we might actually reach them. It opens with a look back at space exploration to date before heading into the future and out towards other worlds, chapters packed with information all attractively presented.
This is 100% likely to inspire the next generation of astronauts – or space psychologists, chefs, design engineers… Shout out to Maz Rambaldi for the illustrations and to Steve Cole for keeping it all ultra-readable and clear.
A real-life astronaut is here to tell you what it's REALLY like to blast off into space - and everywhere we might travel in the future! Could we build a colony on Mars? Will we ever land on Venus? Can we play football on the Moon?
