This is their story, told by Bryan Sullivan, one of the technicians on duty at the time, and his wife, children′s author Jackie French.
This book also includes information about the space program and the birth of the internet, as well as supplying the answers to questions such as:
How do you go to the toilet in a spacecraft?
Have the astronauts ever seen an alien?
What made the moon?
Can I have a holiday in space?
Ages 10-14
