What is it like to float weightlessly in the air? What happens if you
vomit in your helmet during a spacewalk? How do astronauts go to the
bathroom? Is it true that they don't shower? Can farts really be deadly
in space?
Best-selling Mary Roach has the answers. In this whip-smart, funny, and
informative young readers adaptation of her best-selling Packing for
Mars, Roach guides us through the irresistibly strange, frequently
gross, and awe-inspiring realm of space travel and life without gravity.
From flying on NASA's Weightless Wonder to eating space food, Packing
for Mars for Kids is chock-full of firs-hand experiences and thorough
research. Roach has crafted an authoritative and accessible book that is
perfectly pitched to inquiring middle grade readers.
