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.
