Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
It's not just astronauts who get to travel into space anymore. Forward-thinking entrepreneurs have now made space flight a reality for adventure-seekers of all kinds. And just in time, here's a travel guide for kids to plan their own out-of-this-world journeys. Eight potential space vacations are described, one per chapter, complete with information about pre-trip preparations (like training to withstand extreme g-forces), accommodations and dining (hot dogs in zero gravity, anyone?), awesome activities (how about a real moon walk?) and so much more.
Includes index.
A guide to space travel describes how to prepare and the different trips a person could make, the steps that each trip would involve, and some things to do at each destination.
So...you want to go to space? -- Suborbit : surfboard spaceships and giant-panda G-forces -- Earth orbit : around the world in 90 minutes -- Orbital cruise : all aboard your space yacht -- The moon : crater skiing and bamboo hotels -- Comets : discovering your own space snowball -- Mars : a journey to the red planet -- Jupiter : a solar system within a solar system -- Saturn : a frozen paradise -- What's next? To the stars!
