From the first time a person looked up at the sky and wondered 'What's out there?" humans have dreamed about exploring the cosmos. About 60 years ago, the first manned spacecraft left Earth’s atmosphere for the first time. In the years since, astronauts have visited the moon several times—and have spent extended time living in outer space. We even have plans to send humans to Mars by the 2030s! Share in the joy of exploration and discovery with Human Missions to Outer Space.

Key Features	This series compliments the Next Generation Science Standards on space systems. Find the Truth! feature starts each book with two statements—one true and one false–which begins the inquiry process by engaging readers to think proactively. An introductory spread provides an important overview of the information to be presented, always linking the global theme of the series, Space Exploration, to the subject matter. Stunning new NASA photographs and the latest space discoveries bring the information to life. Fascinating sidebars highlight important concepts, moments, and ideas. The Big Truth spread brings to light an interesting and sometimes controversial topic about space and encourages readers to dig deeper, think critically, and learn more. Think Like a Scientist feature encourages readers to analyze information the way a scientist would! An activity at the end of the book inspires readers to apply their knowledge in an engaging hands-on way, bringing the science to life.
