How to Survive on the Moon: Lunar Lessons from a Rocket Scientist
Publisher: Neon Squid
What if you had to go and live on the moon? Yes, it would be pretty exciting, but there would be lots of perils: tricky terrain, lethal space radiation, extreme temperatures, and no breathable air. Hmm. You might wonder why anyone would bother...
Luckily, actual rocket scientist Joalda Morancy is here to help – they’ve worked on making lunar landers, so they know a thing or two about being on the moon, and what it takes to survive there.
Featuring chapters on what you might eat on the moon, how you could breathe there, how you’re going to get there in the first place, how you’re going to find water and fuel, how robots might help, and even what you might use for money on the moon, this inventive and fascinating book is a real insight into what it would take to live a lunar life, and why humans might do it in the first place.
Aaron Cushley’s cool, colourful and detailed illustrations are fantastic and full of interest, and the book is sure to inspire many a would-be scientist towards future lunar exploration.
