Summary

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 traveller 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 these twelve fascinating 'tickets': Fly in a space balloon, ride on a spaceplane, build your own rocket, win the space lottery, become an astronaut pilot, be a science mission specialist, get sponsored to go to space, work as a space engineer, visit the Moon as a space tourist or volunteer to colonize Mars! Ripped-from-the-headlines STEM content meets creative, accessible ways to bring space to you across these twelve illustrated, four-page scenarios. You'll also explore the International Space Station with a detailed cutaway map, visit a gallery of iconic rockets, and find out what it takes to be a real-life star-sailor at the astronaut training academy.
