The Astronaut Instruction Manual
“With writing that gets kids on the launchpad of greatness, Mike Mongo prepares young students for whatever life in space―and on Earth—will throw at them.”
Doug Robertson, author of He’s the Weird Teacher
Endorsed by authors, teachers, scientists and Congressmen, Mike Mongo’s Astronaut Instruction Manual for Pre-Teens excites a new generation of space explorers.
The book, designed for children between the ages of eight and thirteen, is a functioning, first-step instruction manual. With excitement and honesty, Mongo encourages his readers to articulate and personalize their own vision of next-generation space travel. Driven in part by new space celebrities—Commander Chris Hadfield, Elon Musk, Alyssa Carson—and in part by a shift in popular interest in space, including SpaceX rockets, the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and Kerbal Space Program videogaming, The Astronaut Instruction Manual for Pre-Teens captures a new era of enthusiasm for space exploration.
