Description
From the first time a person looked up at the sky and wondered 'What's out there? humans have dreamed about exploring the cosmos.
This book is part of a series A True Book: Space Exploration, that includes the titles Human Missions to Outer Space, Mars Rovers, The International Space Station and UFO's. The series features the latest NASA imagery and lively text to bring the wonder of space exploration directly to readers.
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.

School Library Journal
Gr 3-7--A high-quality series that expertly conveys information about four high-interest topics. Each book starts with two statements challenging readers to figure out which is true and which is false. Then there is an introduction, four chapters, and a "Big Truth" featurette between two chapters. All titles contain up-to-date information, with the fourth chapters looking toward the future. "The Future of Space Exploration" (Human Missions to Outer Space) goes into great detail about the upcoming Artemis missions. VERDICT Highly recommended, a first purchase for middle school and public libraries.
