I liked it because it tells you about different types of spacesuits and different types of agencies like ESA or NASA. It also tells you about how to get to space and get back down to earth. It say how other astronauts felt when they went to space. It says what you do for training as a astronaut. It tells what happens to a Soyuz's* outsides when it breaks up. * A tiny spaceship inside a rocket that takes you to the International Space Station [ISS].

I love this book! I think the pictures are funny and all the fact. I like books about astronauts because I want to be one. I would tell my friends to read this book if they like space.

This is an excellent book for anyone that is interested in astronomy! It answers lots of questions that children might have about being in space (like how you wash and go to the toilet) and it explains things in a basic and funny way so that it's easy to understand. I read this book all in one go because it was so interesting! I have been watching the ISS from my garden so I'm glad that my brother let me borrow this book to read.

It was really good. I wanted to read more about space walking, otherwise would be a 5.

Factual. Good. Learnt lots. Interesting to find out about space. I found out that Russians wear a different space suit than other astronauts from other countries and they are called cosmonauts not astonauts.
