15.3 - Ground Control to Major Tom
In April 1961, the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to orbit Earth. In May, President John F. Kennedy made the bold, public claim that the U.S. would land a man on the moon before the end of the decade. And, in July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. The same month, David Bowie introduced the fictional astronaut Major Tom to the world with the song "Space Oddity."

Option 1: Read 2 books, one Book A and one Book B.

I need to use The Final Six for another task, so I'd like to use the second book in the series instead. Please approve The Life Below for MPG Space. Sure hope this is a good series so I don't have to bug you again with a different book...

[Rayne]

please confirm MPG Space for Navigating the Stars.

No worries about switching and/or asking for verification on different books. That's how my TBR grows.... LOL

So if the first in the series isn't to your liking, by all means, pick something different! ;-)
