Journal Entry 1 by TexasWren from Hillsboro, Texas USA on Wednesday, September 20, 2006

This is a book containing transparencies of the layers of the space shuttle. It is an old book, I used it in my classroom in 1988, but it is still interesting. It has a few marks, but is still quite readable.

If you are new to BookCrossing and find this book and this site; welcome! Enjoy the site, the book and hopefully the BookCrossing community. I hope you'll join BookCrossing (doesn't cost anything to join!) and if you do, please consider using any previous reader of this book, or me, TexasWren, as the member who referred you.

Thanks, and Happy Crossing!

This is traveling to Finland to live with a budding young scientist. I hope you enjoy it as much as my students did. If you ever go to space, would you say Hello to me?
I was 8 years old when John Glenn piloted the first manned spacecraft in orbit around the earth. I can rememeber that our teachers took us all to the auditorium, where someone had brought a television and hooked it up on stage. We spent the whole day sitting there watching it. And now, we have people living in space!! Amazing!

What a cool book! :) Our budding young scientist has just fallen asleep, so we'll start with this (and the other materials) tomorrow! Yesterday we watched a documentary about the Columbia shuttle 2003 journey and astronauts and this book will be read thoroughly. Thank you!
