How do I become an astronaut?

Astronaut is perhaps the most exciting profession there is. But... how do you become one?

In this super interesting book you will discover everything you have to do before you can travel into space as an astronaut.
What kind of training do you get and what do you have to learn? And the great thing is: you can start with some things today!
For example, take a ride on a roller coaster and discover how well you can handle G-forces. Or experience a little bit of what it is like to be weightless underwater.

André Kuipers knows all about it. He lived and worked in the International Space Station ISS for a total of 204 days.
Govert Schilling is a science journalist and knows everything about the moon, the planets and the stars. Together they wrote the ultimate handbook for future astronauts, full of interesting facts and figures. For all children who dream of traveling through space, or just want to know more about it.
