Are you ready to blast off into space?  ‘SPACE FANS. We are T-minus 30 seconds from lift off!  Get ready, there is so much to do in Outer Spaaaaaaaaaace!’ Thus begins the young narrator’s livestream of his epic trip to outer space.

Aboard the space craft too is robotic research assistant, Herschel, and ready to answer questions via the ‘live chat’ are Dr Joan Kepler and Dr Obi Lightbody. The narrator may be all set to entertain enthusiasts watching back home but the irritating tour guide seems to be endeavouring to spoil all his fun. Suppose then that you want to try floating and catching every drop of your milk with your mouth, that’s a no no! It’s way too dangerous and could short-circuit the spaceship’s electronics.
So what about opening the window to see what space smells like? Absolutely not: space will vacuum the air out of the spaceship and your lungs. And anyway, ‘space smells like burning metal.’

Additional no no’s include a space race; a snowball fight on Mars;

getting out of the spaceship and grabbing a diamond specially for your mum. It seems that you cannot do anything at all that’s fun in space. Hmm!

During the expedition questions pop up via the livestream and the docs. answer them. In this way interesting space facts are integrated into the adventure. With these awesome facts and a whole lot of laugh-out-loud moments, this book offers a wealth of learning opportunities. Curious children will love this quirky presentation.
