Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society: Spaceflight - by Paul Kupperberg

Book Synopsis

The Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society is made up of a group of students from different grade levels that come together with their good friend, Toot, who is an exchange student from another planet, to learn, teach and understand the world and the universe around us.

The Story of Spaceflight is a journey through humanity's quest to understand our place in the universe...and our struggles to reach the stars. Guided by the curious students of the London Academy of ideas and Ingenuity, readers travel through time and space to witness the evolution of spaceflight--from the invention of gunpowder in ancient China and early rocketry to Newton's laws of physics, the Wright brothers' first flight, the jet age, and the space race. They explore moon landings, space stations, and the bold dreams for humanity's future among the stars. Blending science, history, and imagination, this engaging tale brings to life the milestones that shaped our path into space.
