Produktbeschreibung

Discover the many exciting ways that we could travel to space, now and in the future, with this colorful fact file for budding astronauts and space tourists. Space travel has never been so accessible, with NASA even aiming to land humans on Mars in the 2030s. This book is a launchpad for the curiosity and intrepid nature that any young space traveler will need to have in our solar system and beyond. Learn all about the ways humans go to space today and how we'll likely live there decades from now, with this fascinating book that includes:

• Twelve "tickets", involving future methods of travelling to space, like lifting off in a space balloon and piloting a homebuilt rocket into orbit
• Creative ways to "go" to space right now, including launching a time capsule or sending a radio message to any intelligent life that might be listening
• Detailed maps of the International Space Station and Earth's solar system
• An exploration of stranger-than-fiction scenarios such as living on the Moon and on Mars
• A tour of the Astronaut Hall of Fame and training academy to find out all about the milestones humans have already achieved, and how and when we might reach the next one

With Terri Po's whizz-bang illustrations of rockets, space stations, EVA suits, satellites, and much, much more, 12 Ways to Get a Ticket to Space brings space travel within young readers' orbit, and lets them experience something that may one day be their reality.
