And did you know that astronauts living in space strap down their sleeping bags and food trays so they don't float away? Life in space is pretty different from life on Earth, and scientists are working on ways for us to spend even more time in space! Discover extreme facts about life in space with this fun and kooky book.

Something that big might seem like it can't move fast-but the ISS cruises through space at about 5 miles (8 km) per second! Spend some time on this massive, speedy space station to learn about how ISS crew members work on incredible science experiments and stop their food from floating away in low gravity. Discover extreme facts about the International Space Station in this fun and kooky book.
Depicts an account of the author's experiences in a four-month NASA Mars simulation research project in which she endured a limited food supply, cramped living quarters, and wearing a space suit when she wanted to leave her home.
Explore outer space through interactive augmented reality experiences! Humans first placed a space station in orbit around Earth in 1971. Construction of the International Space Station began in 1998, and since then people from different countries have been living and conducting cutting-edge science experiments there. Explore the latest news about space stations with the help of augmented reality.
Explore outer space through interactive augmented reality experiences! Space suits protect astronauts during launches and landings and allow people to go on space walks. But astronauts need a lot more gear than just their suits to complete missions. Sometimes, they build their own tools in space using 3D printers. Augmented reality features add to this exciting exploration of space gear.
