Despite how highly unrealistic the story gets, the science itself is accurate, as well is NASA's need to sell itself to the public, and the main character does a great job putting everything in layman's terms.

My 4th grader son loved this book! We both did. It was funny and also had interesting facts that my son is enjoying learning about in this stage of his life. Loved the personal style of writing directing bringing the reader in. Thank you Tim :)

This book was really refreshing and enjoyable to read. I love how Tim Collins wrote what he imagined the Mars trip will be like. I love how this book showed that while some people will expect you to be one way, being yourself could save you someday.
