Totally Amazing Careers in Space Sciences

This book features twelve engaging biographies of living women and men working in space sciences-from astronauts and astrobiologists to planetary scientists, space reporters, and more. These remarkable scientists shared their stories with us and provided us with personal photographs. They describe what they do, how they got into it, and why they enjoy it. Next to each biography there are fun activities to do related to each career (crossword puzzles, word jumbles, things to do or wonder about). This book conveys the excitement of space sciences and the wide variety of careers available. It also prompts young readers to think about the things they like to do and possible space sciences careers.
