The book takes you through the life of an astronaut on a space mission. It begins by talking about everything you have to learn, getting into space, living in space, working on a few jobs, and the beautiful scenery.

The language is very simple. It's great for a second grader. It's not extremely well-written but the photographs are stunning and they go along with the words. It's quite dated now, but worth a read for those young aspiring astronauts.

Spend a day in space with the astronauts aboard the space shuttle. Find out what it’s like to walk in space, to launch a satellite, to eat, sleep, and brush your teeth without gravity.

With photographs of an actual shuttle mission, astronauts introduce young readers to the thrills and excitement of space. From practicing in the shuttle simulator to blasting off inside the shuttle attached to a giant rocket, young space enthusiasts learn about daily life two hundred miles above the planet show more Earth.
