This fun first board book with neon-bright pictures shows it's never too early - or late! - to learn about big ideas, and build confidence in science. Just like your little one, Baby Robot is a brilliant scientist in the making. He wants to know how to fly to the Moon, so Rose-bot tells him about rocket science. Based on his firsthand experiences, Baby Robot has imaginative ideas for getting to space. Rose-bot explains why he can't climb there or fly in a plane, helicopter, or balloon. She knows you need a rocket, and she tells Baby Robot all about how space rockets work. The first title in a series of STEM books for babies, Baby Robot Explains... Rocket Science is the perfect way to bring science to life for little ones. Humorous illustrations, with bright, popping neon color, and a read-aloud, picture book story are combined with very simple scientific explanations - written with the help of science consultant Lisa Burke - to make the topic accessible.

This book describes the most complex machine ever sent to another planet: Curiosity. It is a one-ton robot with two brains, seventeen cameras, six wheels, nuclear power, and a laser beam on its head. No one human understands how all of its systems and instruments work. This essential reference to the Curiosity mission explains the engineering behind every system on the rover, from its rocket-powered jetpack to its radioisotope thermoelectric generator to its fiendishly complex sample handling system. Its lavishly illustrated text explains how all the instruments work -- its cameras, spectrometers, sample-cooking oven, and weather station -- and describes the instruments' abilities and limitations. It tells you how the systems have functioned on Mars, and how scientists and engineers have worked around problems developed on a faraway planet: holey wheels and broken focus lasers. And it explains the grueling mission operations schedule that keeps the rover working day in and day out.

A startling, wonderful novel about the true meaning of being an alien in an equally alien world."We are specks. Pieces of dust in this universe. Big nothings.""I know what I am."Mal lives on the fringes of high school. Angry. Misunderstood. Yet loving the world -- or, at least, an idea of the world. Then he meets Hooper. Who says he's from another planet. And may be going home very soon.

The tranquility of Mars is disrupted by humans who want to conquer space, colonize the planet, and escape a doomed Earth.
