"A beautifully executed book for smaller and taller humans that’s all about rockets—how they’re built, how they work, famous ones, etc—and space in general (telescopes, rovers, ISS, exoplanets, galaxies, the Solar System, Voyagers I and II, the differences between asteroids, meteoroids, and comets, etc).
