The book, designed for children between the ages of 6 and 13, is a functioning, interactive instruction manual. Using mad-lib-style fill-in-the-blanks, Mongo encourages his readers to articulate and illustrate their own vision of next-generation space travel. <i>The Astronaut Instruction Manual</i> captures a new era of enthusiasm for space exploration, driven in part by new space celebrities (Commander Chris Hadfield, Elon Musk), and in part by a shift in popular interest in space (SpaceX rockets, The Mars Colonial Transporter, Kerbal).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An astronaut must be focused and prepared but also dynamic and creative. <i>The Astronaut Instruction Manual</i> is a fantastic and vibrant preparatory guide for today's youth -- whether their futures are off in space or right here...on Earth." -- Lori Garver, Air Line Pilots Association General Manager and Former NASA Deputy Administrator <p/>"Mike Mongo's passion for human spaceflight leaps off every page of this inspirational book. <i>The Astronaut Instruction Manual</i> is a bright-eyed guide to the basics of thinking and living like a space explorer, whether off-world or right here on Earth." --Lee Billings, contributor to <i>Scientific American</i> and author of <i>Five Billion Years of Solitude</i> <p/>"With writing that gets kids on the launchpad of greatness, Mike Mongo prepares young students for whatever life in space -- and on Earth --will throw at them." -- Doug Robertson, author of <i>He's The Weird Teacher</i><br>
