Synopsis

A golf ball shot on the moon and the world’s biggest floating landfill. Those are some of the craziest things man has done in space.

You can read about it in Space: the Book of Records where you will find out about the highest, most dangerous, heaviest, quickest and weirdest records made in space. 

Did you e.g. know that if you took all the sand from all the beaches in the whole world and collected them in one pile, there would still be more stars in the universe than there are sand grains? Or that you currently move 100.000 km/h because of Earth's rotation around the Sun and around itself? Or that it rains with gasoline on Saturn's moon, Titan?

A fun and entertaining non-fiction book, suitable for independent reading from 10 years up.
