NASA astronaut Terry Virts gives you the lowdown on all things spaceflight in this fantastic biographical guide for children. From his early ambitions of being an astronaut to launching into space and boarding the International Space Station, Virts takes his young audience on journeys few have made. Each page of The Astronaut’s Guide to Leaving the Planet is not only populated with practical information about how to become an astronaut and what to expect in space,

but also Virts’ passion for spaceflight and attitude towards being an astronaut. Virts also dedicates entire pages to answering interesting spaceflight questions, such as how to use the bathroom in space and what time zone astronauts use. Full of firsthand accounts of experiences you won’t read about in any textbook, along with fun experiments and activities to do at home, there’s no doubt The Astronaut’s Guide to Leaving the Planet will inspire the next generation of spacefarers.
