Official synopsis Publisher
What’s the best part of being an astronaut? Is it the thrill of rocketing out of Earth’s atmosphere at 25,000 miles per hour? Is it the chance to make new scientific discoveries? Or is it the adventure of going where so few people have ever gone? A group of kids took the first step in answering these questions by spending a week at U.S. Space Academy at the United States Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
While they were there they built their own rockets, tasted space food, and wore space suits. They learned how to walk on the Moon and work without gravity, and even used the same simulators that real astronauts use. Think you’d like to be an astronaut? Come along for the ride and find out!
