THE ASTRONAUT TRAINING BOOK FOR KIDS

by Kim Long ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 1990

Know someone who wants to be a space traveler? ""Not every school or parent can take the time to help you out, so you must be prepared to create your own opportunities."" Long's abstract summary descriptions of our history and future in space and of the training and work of astronauts can be found elsewhere; but his specific, annotated lists of science contests, special study programs, databases and software, planetariums and other sources of information, as well as of relevant interest groups and space camps, will make this eminently useful to young self-starters. The general advice here is also sound: develop good study habits; take plenty of math and science in school; exercise regularly. An important reference tool for future astronauts. Illustrated with b&w photos, glossary; several fine, up-to-date booklists; index.
