Strap in! Science Comics: Human Spaceflight is a new volume in First Second's STEM graphic novel series!

Once humans figured out how to launch rockets into orbit, the Space Race between the US and USSR began! Who will be the first to fly outside of Earth's atmosphere, walk on the moon, or build a working lab in orbit? Follow the story of how the race to the moon became international teamwork in orbit, and find out how to travel at 17,500 mph, take a shower with no water, and go to the bathroom when there's no gravity. When it comes to human spaceflight, the sky is not the limit!

Reviews for Science Comics: Human Spaceflight: Rockets and Rivalry

Praise for the Science Comics series: ""The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words."" --New York Times ""Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome!"" --Popular Science
