How to Survive on the Moon

An illustrated guide to lunar survival for kids from rocket scientist Joalda Morancy in preparation for the upcoming NASA Artemis moon missions! Humans are heading back to the moon. But once we get there, how on the moon will we stay alive? In this practical guide, future astronauts will learn how to build underground cities in lava tubes, shield themselves from razor-sharp moon dust, and grow the food theyll need to survive life away from our home planet. As well as practical tips, Morancy lifts a lid on some of the coolest developments in lunar science including the possibility of a space lift and the giant catapult that could be used to get stuff back to Earth. Like Andy Weirs The Martian everything in this space book is based on real, groundbreaking science. And no one is better placed to write it: when theyre not writing kids books, Joalda Morancy is building the lunar lander the Artemis missions will use to take astronauts including the first woman and first person of colour to the surface! Hilarious illustrations by award-winning artist Aaron Cushley, including graphic novel elements, convey the wonder and excitement of future space travel and give this book a key point of difference from other solar system books. Dont leave Earth without it!
