Publisher's Summary

Endorsed by authors, teachers, scientists and congressmen, Mike Mongo's The Astronaut Instruction Manual excites a new generation of space explorers. The audiobook, designed for children between the ages of 8 and 13, is a functioning first-step instruction manual. With excitement and honesty, Mongo encourages his listeners to articulate and personalize their own visions of next-generation space travel. Driven in part by new space celebrities (Commander Chris Hadfield, Elon Musk, Alyssa Carson) and in part by a shift in popular interest in space (SpaceX rockets, the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, the Kerbal Space Program video game), The Astronaut Instruction Manual captures a new era of enthusiasm for space exploration.
