The book ‘Shooting for the Stars’ is an interesting book. I have learned some new things about life in space. I never knew that a candle looks very different in space. I learned about the parts of a rocket, I think that it is very smart to have 1st, 2nd and 3rd stages and an escape tower.
It also seems very hard to be an astronaut, but it must be fun. It’s very cool how there’s a special adult nappy and also a special toilet. To be wearing a space suit must be hard to move in because you’re wearing a lot of clothes but it’s for safety.
I think fixing a spacecraft might be hard because there is no gravity there so you can’t really stand on the moon properly. It seems really hard and scary because you’re 400km high or over that.
This book ‘Shooting for the Stars’ really helped me learn more about space. It was fun and easy to read and learn. l hope others enjoy the book too.
I think this book is suitable for 8 year olds and over. I would rate this book 10 out of 10.
