Description
Have you ever wondered how astronauts stay healthy in space?
What if an astronaut gets sick on the space station?
Does snot run in space?
This fascinating photo-illustrated look at space and medicine explores how scientists and physicians study astronauts in space, how they help keep them safe, and what we've learned about the human body through space exploration.
Take an insider's look into the day-to-day experiences of astronauts living aboard the International Space Station (ISS). From the intricacies of using space toilets to the challenges of sleeping in microgravity, young readers gain insight into the realities of life beyond our planet. Spacecare answers your most need-to-know questions about staying healthy in space, like:
- How do astronauts use space gardens to cultivate plants in the unique environment of space?
- What is microgravity and how does it affect the human body?
- What happens if you get a stomach bug?
- What can you eat in space?
- What is it like being weightless and dealing with motion sickness?
- How does the lack of gravity affect the blood flow to your head and eyes?

This book is an excellent resource for kids who love to learn about space. I read thing with my two kiddos. They are a little younger than the target group for this book (I would guess around 10 years old) but they enjoyed the content. They loved the sections where astronauts answered questions submitted by kids

Thanks to Mayo Clinic Press Kids and NetGalley for the advanced readers copy!
Spacecare is about how the environment of space affects the human body. Jam packed with fascinating facts and beautiful pictures and a ton of in-depth information for the science, space or biology minded kid. There are also some great questions from kids that are answered on the page like, what happens when an astronaut sneezes. A great read!
