About this ebook
What is a Space Shuttle?
How can something that can’t fly go into space?
Do spiders spin webs in space?
Do astronauts get space sick?
This book answers all these questions and more, plus everybody’s favorite: How do astronauts go to the toilet?
This book was written in 2007, prior to the end of the space shuttle program in 2011. While the Space Shuttle program no longer exists, the information in this book is still interesting for learning about the program that provided us with much information about space and about space travel in general.
Ages 8 and up.
All measurements in American and metric.
