It is hard to fathom, but this is actually the International Space Station, traveling attwenty times the speed of sound, circling the earth once every ninety minutes. One of humankind's greatest inventions for exploring andliving in space, the ISS is packed with some of the most technologically sophisticated equipment and facilities ever invented. In this follow-up to Curiosity: The Story of a Mars Rover, readers learn howthe ISS was launched piece by piece and constructed in orbit; how astronauts live on the station (playing music in zero gravity, running marathons, reading to children on Earth); and how the groundbreaking experiments conducted onboard are changing life on our planet. This compelling picture book celebrates the wonders of space while reminding us that when we work together, there is no limit to how far we can go."-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
