outer space

Over the course of five decades evidence has been gathered by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and other space programs around the globe. Using such evidence, astronomers and other scientists have learned a great deal about the Solar System, as well as what lies beyond it.

The authors of the best-selling popular science book Soonish discuss the future of space settlements, explore what would be needed to have space kids, build space farms and create nations, ultimately questioning whether or not it's actually a good idea.

Achieving his dream of working for NASA, Yakov cannot forget A?cha, a girl who shared his love of space and became his inseparable companion until their fathers forbade them to spend time together -- and wonders if he'll ever see her again.

Provides young readers an inspiring look at how scientists have learned from past achievements to plan for the future of space travel, and discusses what our future might hold, from new space robots to crewed missions to the Moon and Mars.
