| book description |
Readers are taken on an imaginary space mission to explore the far side of the Moon for the first time in human history. In this adventure into deep space, readers will be the first astronauts to set foot on the far side of the Moon, where the light is low, temperatures are extreme and the surface is pitted with craters that are so deep they have never been exposed to sunlight. What lies within may reveal incredible secrets about our universe, and provide a stepping stone to Mars and beyond... Illustrated in a dreamy science-fiction style, Explore the Far Side of the Moon places readers in the moon boots of a mission specialist, appointed to undertake the first crewed mission to the far side of the Moon in human history. With an introduction by planetary scientist Dr Sheila Kanani, the book starts by introducing the reader to their fellow crew members, providing guidance on what to pack, what to wear and how to prepare a space rocket for lift-off (not to mention an all-important briefing on how to go to the toilet in zero gravity). From there, readers will discover how to enter lunar orbit and dock at the brand new lunar space station where they'll be stationed. Mission specialists will then strike out alone to land a spacecraft on the lunar surface, and embark on their exploration of the Lunar South Pole. Published in anticipation of NASA’s launch of Artemis III, which will take the first woman and first person of colour to the Moon, the book will feed off the excitement of a new era of lunar missions.
