How do I become an astronaut?

Astronaut is perhaps the most exciting profession there is. But... how do you become one? In this incredibly interesting book, you'll discover everything you need to do before you can travel into space as an astronaut. What kind of training will you receive, and what do you need to learn? And the best part is: you can start doing some things today! For example, ride a roller coaster and discover how well you can handle G-forces. Or experience a little bit of what it's like to be weightless underwater. André Kuipers knows all about it. He lived and worked for a total of 204 days on the International Space Station. 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, packed with interesting facts and figures. For all children who dream of space travel, or just want to know more.
