mypalsophia's review against another edition
3.0
A very cute introduction book on how a civilian becomes a astronaut. Just a warning, this book is currently outdated as of 2020, but I still think it is a great book if a child is interested in space. I'd say this book caters to freshmen in Highschool and below, but a freshman might be pushing it a little. (but then again I'm a college student re-reading this book and I still found it enjoyable). Overall this was a well dictated and illustrated book that I would recommend to those interested in space flight.

I feel like I will never ever be able to express the way I feel about this book.
I cannot count the number of times my eyes were filled with tears, the number of times I had to turn off my phone screen and take a short walk around the room just to be able to breathe again. I cannot imagine what would have happened to an 8 year old version of me (who kept screaming "I WANNA BE AN ASTRONAUT WHEN I GROW UP".) if she had read this. Have no idea where she would have ended up.
The present 27year old version of me, is fighting (failing,) to hold her tears back while trying her best not to think of [deny] the fact "I'll never ever ever make it up there."
The book is a perfect explanation of the procedures that will happen to you in a space program. Starting from application and training programs, till a few days after landing from missions to the ISS on Earth.
*Sigh*
Ps: Say I'll never make it to the moon or I'll never orbit the earth. Not even once. I'll be a great cinematographerin instead. Won't I?

If only I'd had this as a child, I could have been an astronaut by now!
