Publisher's Summary:
Endorsed by authors, teachers, scientists and congressmen, Mike Mongo's The Astronaut Instruction Manual excites a new generation of space explorers. The audiobook, designed for children between the ages of 8 and 13, is a functioning first-step instruction manual. With excitement and honesty, Mongo encourages his listeners to articulate and personalize their own visions 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 (SpaceX rockets, the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, the Kerbal Space Program video game), The Astronaut Instruction Manual captures a new era of enthusiasm for space exploration.
Critic Reviews:
"Mongo's passion for his topic is evident in his enthusiastic reading. His zeal is infectious, and it's hard not to be inspired by his staunch support of space travel." (AudioFile)
Members Reviews:
An ignition switch to your imagination and future employment!
I love this book...the concept of it, the ease of reading, the thought that it might ignite that spark that will drive more and more people to consider space as a career destination. I was thrilled to be a part of getting it to print! I have a copy for my own children and bought an additional copy for their school library... You never know when you'll help someone find what they need to make their dreams a reality. And careers in space are definitely on the horizon.
Give it a try!
Thoughtfully written and presented, I love what Mike Mongo has done here!
I picked up the Astronaut Instruction Manual, quite frankly, not knowing what to expect. I mean, what is an Astronaut Instruction Manual? As I read through the first few pages I began to understand what this was. It was not any simple instruction manual, nor would I consider it a typical book in the way that one might have a beginning, a middle, and an end. No, this was something special, and something different entirely. At the end of most pages I stopped and thought about what I just read. Though in the Childrenâs Astronomy section on Amazon, I found it could be enjoyed at really any age. As a 35 year old professional reading this with my wife and four and a half year old son, I found that we each got something different out of the AIM. Nevertheless, all of what we were individually exposed to in Mongoâs book was within a certain paradigm. That paradigm is one of exploration and moving forward into space.
What the Astronaut Instruction Manual does so well is to move the space conversation from statements of hope and optimism that can mistakenly rely on belief, to the certainty of preparation. In other words, sailing west for the early European mariner might be fraught with notions of falling off a flat globe or failing to find land. Mongo illustrates that to venture into space is to go somewhere we have beenâwhere we have survived and made a number of advancements. One cannot believe we will travel in space because it relies not on belief, but history; we already have traveled and even lived in space for months at a time aboard the ISS. The Astronaut Instruction Manual is a call to anyone who has looked up at the stars in wonder, and has not wanted that feeling to be a limited curiosity.
