The women and men who explore space come from many different backgrounds and many different fields. They include astronauts, engineers, geologists, planetary scientists, space reporters, and more. This book introduces students to 12 fascinating women and men working in space sciences. The scientists talk about their interests when they were growing up and the people who inspired them. They describe what they do, how they got there, and why they enjoy it. And they encourage students to think about their own interests and future careers.
