Great book! Engaging and fun to see all the little details. This is the second in the series and in color.

We enjoyed the first Leo Geo very much and were looking forward to this one. While the illustrations are on a par with the first effort, the science here is simply awful. It's not that things are left out, it's that bad inaccurate information is given that will confuse and mislead a child. Worst of all, it would have been so easy to get right. Where was the editor?

Here are some examples:
- astronaut centrifuge: the simulated gravity is toward the outside, not down to the ground. Rotate the car 90 degrees and it's right.
- the Space Shuttle used liquid HYDROGEN as fuel, not nitrogen.
- rocket stages have traditionally been thrown away, disintegrating from atmospheric forces on re-entry into the atmosphere and falling as mangled debris into the ocean. Shuttle solid boosters were recovered, but they were an extreme exception and were very hard to refurbish. SpaceX is working on landing a booster, but on a dry surface. Salt water does enormous damage to rockets and spacecraft.
- ISS orbits at 400km/250miles altitude
- several key components of ISS were constructed by Russia and delivered by their rockets, not by Shuttle
- at the most distant point in its orbit, the Moon is 251,351 miles from Earth, not 235,000
- the side of the Moon that points away from Earth is the FAR side, not the "dark" side. There is nothing darker about that side that the one that faces Earth. Perpetuating this misnomer does a disservice to children.
- the gravitational force at the event horizon of a black hole is a function of its size. It can be comparatively low.

This is a fantastic book for kids who love science, especially if you're a fan of the first Leo Geo book which is equally great. Book arrived on time and in great condition. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.
