Blast off alongside space expert Sarah Cruddas on a journey through space exploration history, from the Apollo Moon landings to mind-boggling plans for living on Mars! Sarah will talk about her new children's book The Space Race, which covers our journey to the moon in 1969 and the evolution of space travel over the past 50 years.
How did we land on the Moon? What will the space jobs of the future look like? And why did we send a car to space? The Space Race answers all of the big questions that kids have about space travel. In her book, Sarah Cruddas brings to life the hidden stories behind the most famous space missions, before taking the reader on a journey through our space future. Printed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, The Space Race is an essential children's handbook to understanding every aspect of the history, and future, of human space travel.
