"Is it true that 12 astronauts have walked on the moon? Yes! They were all part of the Apollo program. Specially designed suits kept them safe on the lunar surface. Inside [this book], you'll find information on the crewed missions to date -- as well as those that are planned for the future" -- Back cover. " From the first time a person looked up at the sky and wondered 'What's out there?" humans have dreamed about exploring the cosmos. From human missions to outer space and our exploration of Mars to the observation of mysterious UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), scientific advances over the past 60 years have made it possible to find some answers. About 60 years ago, the first manned spacecraft left Earth's atmosphere for the first time. In the years since, astronauts have visited the moon several times-and have spent extended time living in outer space. We even have plans to send humans to Mars by the 2030s! Share in the joy of exploration and discovery with Human Mission to Outer Space. This book is part of a series A True Book: Space Exploration, that includes the titles Human Missions to Outer Space, Mars Rover, The International Space Station and U.F.O's.
