On his way into a fitful sleep, Anders began to realize: We came all this way to explore the moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the earth. Non-fiction links- could be good for talking about the difference between fiction and non-fiction- although this is about space, how do we know it is not based on facts?

And after reading the afterword by Chaikin on how hard was to translate the magic surrounding every aspect of the space program into a book, and the amazing performance in the Audiobook by Pinchot, I dare to say that this is one of the most well executed non-fiction pieces ever.

When a sheet of cavorite is prematurely processed, it makes the air above it weightless and shoots off into space. Be a good text to use if beginning topics such as space in science lessons, or diary entries in literacy sessions as it gives a basic and straightforward introduction of the concepts. Lots of dramatic moments,the first view of the earth from lunar orbit,(Apollo 8),the selection of the first man to step on the moon (Apollo 11),the moment of near disaster for Apollo 12,the near catastrophic crisis aboard Apollo 13,and the landing of the last man on the moon (Apollo 17). This technique makes it easy for children to follow as it allows them to relate it to their day to day life, such as getting up and having breakfast and having a bath before going to bed. Earlier in his career, the project director of the Saturn V rocket, which propelled the astronauts to the Moon, was the operations manager of the Mittelwerk underground factory in Germany, which produced the V-2 ballistic missile using the labor of inmates of the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp; of the 60,000 laborers, 20,000 died of starvation, disease and overwork.

He has also written a popular series of illustrated fiction books about the adventures of Bob and his dog Barry.This is probably too much for a beginner in space history, but is perfect for those of us who can't read enough books about the space race!

The inspiration seems to come from the famous 1865 book by Jules Verne, From the Earth to the Moon, and the opera by Jacques Offenbach from 1875.Chaikin did a solid job of providing background on all missions without providing so much detail that I couldn’t retain any of it.

There were just too many people involved, and that many people simply can't be counted upon to keep their mouths shut for all these years. Age 5-7 A beautifully illustrated picture book about an apparently ordinary man, Bob, who has an extraordinary job. I did absolutely struggle keeping all the astronauts straight, which has nothing to do with the fact that half of their last names were the first names of the other half.Bertram Chandler, in others (such as Frank Herbert's Hellstrom's Hive) humans who evolved or consciously engineered their society in this direction.

Tells the story of the lucky few who have walked on the moon in a way that humanizes the characters and dramatizes (perhaps melodramatizes) the events. Bartram has a whole series of books about Bob and space, so there gives easy opportunity to explore the world more if students are interested in doing so independently. The book could also be considered to have launched the science fiction subgenre depicting intelligent social insects, in some cases a non-human species such as the space-traveling Shaara "bees" in the future universe of A.
