Astronauts and What They Do

The astronaut does what nearly no one else does:goes into space with the space shuttle, completely ready, with his or her seatbelt buckled up. The engines start. 3 -- 2 -- 1 -- GO! Very soon the space shuttle is high above the clouds. First the astronaut flies through the Earth's air and then they arrive in black space. There everything floats ...even their toothbrush! Time to get to work in the space station. A instructive, informative book for young children about the astronaut, the space shuttle and space travel.
