Twins Mark and Scott discover an abandoned Apollo command module and
take off to rescue a stranded Russian cosmonaut in the second Astrotwins
adventure from retired NASA astronaut and the #1 New York Times
bestselling author of Mousetronaut, Mark Kelly.
Mark and Scott Kelly, who are mostly known for getting into trouble, are
finally back from their first space adventure. The twins have wanted to
explore space ever since they were little and watched Neil Armstrong
walk on the moon. And when they hear that a Russian cosmonaut is trapped
inside the Salyut space station now orbiting 220 miles above the surface
of the Earth, they wish they could find a way to help.
While staying in the countryside at their grandfather's house with their
friend Jenny (aka Egg), the twins repurpose a NASA Titan 2 rocket ship
being stored nearby. Complete with spacesuits and snacks, the twins take
off on their rescue mission. Will they ever see their family or their
grandfather's backyard again?
Written by a NASA astronaut with four space flights under his belt, the
second exciting Astrotwins story includes extensive back matter on the
space program with fantastic facts and details.
