Reviews/Quotes

“Color photographs, pictures by Gayle Garner Roski, fun facts, quizzes, and more make this a great choice for all los niños aventureros.” - Foreword Reviews “It is a wonderfully written and fantastically illustrated book… This book does a terrific job of explaining the shuttle program, gravity, and Hubble telescope. It was awe–inspiring to read the accomplishments from 1981–2011, thirty years of discoveries! – National Science Teachers Association Recommends “Very well-structured and fully illustrated, the book also presents fascinating mission highlights about all the space shuttles. The drawings and photographs greatly enhance the text…There is a brief but helpful glossary, as well as references to additional resources for learning about space. This book emphasizes the wide diversity of training and backgrounds of Americans who have succeeded in getting to space and would be excellent for informing and inspiring any young potential astronaut. – Science Books & Films
