Earth kids meet alien kids in this action-packed series that follows young athletes throughout the universe competing in the Galaxy Games. Can they compete against a robot though?

Avani is the new kid in town, and she’s not happy about it. Everyone in school thinks she’s weird, especially the girls in her Flower Scouts troop. Is it so weird to think scouting should be about fun and adventure, not about makeovers and boys, boys, boys? But everything changes when Avani is “accidentally” abducted by a spunky alien named Mabel. Mabel is a scout too—a Star Scout. Collecting alien specimens (like Avani) goes with the territory, along with teleportation and jetpack racing. Avani might be weird, but in the Star Scouts she fits right in. If she can just survive Camp Andromeda, and keep her dad from discovering that she’s left planet Earth, she’s in for the adventure of a lifetime.

Provides an overview of outer space, describing the planets, satellites, and other objects in the solar system, and discusses such topics as manned and unmanned space exploration, living and working in space, and life on other planets.

Robots don’t need to breathe, eat, or sleep. This makes them perfectly suited for work in the vacuum of space. Rovers on Mars have given humanity a wealth of knowledge about this planet, and machines that repair shuttles and other equipment are invaluable to astronauts. In this exciting STEM exploration, readers learn about space robots. Intriguing sidebars explore the ways science fiction has influenced the creation of real robots, and informative fact boxes and accessible main text discuss robots of the past, present, and future. Full-color photographs and a list of critical-thinking questions keep readers engaged as they learn.

Fascinating story of two men searching for proof of heaven.One films flying saucers and finds ancient artworks of them while the other attempts to make contact and find proof of spirits.

Ultimately, even his new partner is faced with the burden of spirit proof or accept the evidence that flying saucers started religion and gave us our universal religious symbol, the gold halo.Gold is important for space travel! We started history with gold mining, the universal offering to heaven!

Did you know that astronauts work on Earth and in space to study places beyond our planet's atmosphere? But there's a lot more to space travel than just research. With no gravity, a wild schedule that includes sixteen sunrises and sixteen sunsets every twenty-four hours, and no fresh food, it can be a challenge to stay healthy in orbit. Public and private space agencies are working to solve these problems as humans travel farther and more frequently into the depths of space. Learn more about the daily lives of astronauts and how they live, work, and prepare for the future in space.
