It will also look at all different types of spacecraft: space stations and satellites orbiting Earth, rovers trundling over the surface of Mars, and probes travelling at thousands of miles per second through the outer reaches of the Solar System on incredible journeys of discovery.<\/p>\n
Full-page gatefolds and flaps explore spaceships both big and small, inside and out. It\u2019s going to be out of this world!<\/p>\n
