SynopsisWho hasn't dreamed of being an astronaut? Now kids have a chance to blast off into space without ever leaving planet Earth. The Flight Test Lab Spacecraft kit features a fun, informative book filled with color illustrations, diagrams, and facts. It explains the history of space exploration, how rockets work, and how a spacecraft's engine accelerates to a speed of 25,000 mph to break Earth's gravitational pull, and gives young scientists an opportunity to build five different spacecraft varieties and then watch them take flight. Young readers will also learn about the seven Apollo missions, NASA's two Mars rovers, and the first space station. With this fantastic hands-on tool, kids can apply their flight training to build their own rocket with launch pad and attach different payloads., They go higher, farther and faster than any other flying machine. They carry people, satellites, scientific instruments, experiments and even greetings to beings from outer space. What child (or parent, for that matter) can help but be captivated by spacecraft?Spacecraft is crammed with full-colour illustrations, diagrams and interesting facts. After immersing themselves in the subject, kids can put their knowledge to the test by building five different spacecraft using the components provided.
