Deep Space Extremes (Extreme Nature)
Since astronauts are weightless in space, they must strap themselves to toilets when they go to the bathroom. Find out other fascinating facts about surviving in space, human spaceflight and alien life. The text, illustrated with colour photographs, wraps up with two pages of extreme facts. A glossary, a bibliography and an index are included.Source: The Canadian Children’s Book Centre. Best Books for Kids & Teens. 2010.
