Booktalk: Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Blast off!
Having survived some of the scariest destinations on Earth, Eddie and Junko are off on another epic adventure–this time to outer space.
Join our intergalactic explorers as they travel across our Solar System and beyond. Find out what it’s like to live on the Moon, visit the International Space Station and fly through Saturn’s rings, before you head deeper into space to escape black holes and watch stars explode.
Snippet:
BLASTOFF! When accelerating so quickly, it’s as if gravity increases up to three times. We feel this increased weight, known as G-force, pushing us into our seats.
JUNKO: This is the most dangerous part of the trip!
EDDIE: What did you say, Junko? The noise from this blastoff is double the maximum threshold for human ears. Good thing we’re wearing our earplugs.
