Liftoff! Space Exploration

To many, there's nothing more amazing than exploring
what's beyond Earth—and humans have found ways to discover much about stars,
planets, the sun, and even space far from our galaxy. From the Apollo program
going to the moon to Voyager 1 and 2 exploring the outer parts of the solar
system, this set launches readers into the history of space exploration. The
main narratives, sidebars, and fact boxes offer historical context, technology,
and science information to inspire starry-eyed readers to look up and dream of
what space exploration will bring next.
