Description
Based on an imaginary trip to space with America's and Canada's school children, "Kids to Space" is a comprehensive collection of children's questions about travelling to and living in space. Students, aged 3 to 19 were excited to be asked to participate in planning for humankind's future in space. The book includes 94 different categories of student questions and internationally recognised experts including astronauts, educators, astronomers, doctors, engineers, scientists and architects provide all the answers. It features a Letter of Support from Rick Searfoss, Colonel, USAF Retired, Astronaut/Space Shuttle Commander. The prologues by Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Burt Rutan and Neil deGrasse Tyson introduce Planning to Go To Space, Visiting and Living in Space, and Exploring Space. As a book for all ages, a storyline weaves through the chapters, introducing space topics in simple terms and making the book appropriate for younger children as well. The Bonus CD-ROM includes over a thousand student illustrations, brilliant depictions of what it would be like to live in or travel to space.
