Summary of Space Exploration (DK Eyewitness Books)
New Look! Relaunched with new jackets and 8 pages of new text!Here is a spectacular and informative guide to the mysteries beyond Earth and its atmosphere. Original photography of spacecraft - both before and after traveling in space - and pictures of astronauts and their equipment offer a unique "eyewitness" view of the history of Space exploration and the daily life of astronauts. See an astronaut repairing an orbiting spacecraft from the outside, the first person on the Moon, fantastic photographs of Neptune, the farthest planet from Earth, and the satellite tracking device that shows how red deer live. Learn how satellites in Space help us to forecast the weather, about the first birth in Space, and how an astronaut's body is effected on reentering the Earth's atmosphere. Discover how a special sleeping bag helps astronauts to sleep in weightless conditions, how machines used on Earth were developed from material originally used in Space, the Large Space Simulator and how it is used to test spacecraft, and much, much more.
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. (Ages 9 to 12)
