After starting the propeller, the lunar module began to descend. Soon, two astronauts in the cabin heard the alarm of computer overload. The Houston space command center on the ground must make a quick decision, whether to terminate the moon landing plan or continue to try to land on the moon. Finally, the lunar module received instructions to continue trying and start manual control. At this point, the spacecraft has flown over the expected landing site and the fuel is about to run out. The command center was silent, and everyone was waiting quietly until Armstrong's voice came from the communication equipment: "Houston, this is Jinghai base, and the eagle landed successfully."
Six and a half hours after landing, Armstrong set foot on the moon with the escalator of the lunar module, and said the famous saying: "That's a small step for a man, a big step for a man (this is a small step for me, but a big step for all mankind)".
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of human landing on the moon, people once again focus on the "moon" and answer all your curiosity about it. A book "The Moon: A History of Human Exploration from Mythical Poetry to Fantasy Science" was published jointly with Bass. Author Bernd? Brenner's interdisciplinary creation has permeated scientific knowledge into cultural history. This book about the moon tells people how this cold little satellite covered with rocks became a romantic and mysterious motif in the long river of human culture, and how it led science into space until the vast interstellar space. This kind of popular science method, which cuts into astronomical knowledge from a cultural perspective and uses poetic gentleness, has been well received.
Subsequently, the children's version of the popular science book I Want the Moon was launched in conjunction with the bass, so that adults can have the "moon" of adults and children can have the "moon" of children. The cover of "I Want the Moon" is designed to be cool silver gray, just like the surface of the moon. The hollowed-out full moon window reveals an animal illustration with an inner cover full of childlike interest, and the illustration content is the fairy tale of "Cheese Moon" in the book.
I want the moon to continue the poetic way of popular science. The book is divided into three chapters: lunar myth, lunar science and lunar exploration, from Selene in Greek mythology to the formation history of the earth and the moon, and then to human Apollo program. Each section of each chapter has a length of 2 to 4 pages, telling various small themes about the moon, so that children can get in touch with the broader "moon world." There are interesting questions and answers and extended topics in the lower right corner of each section. Jumping out of the text and making divergent supplements will open children's eyes. There are no dense words in the book, but there are big illustrations around the words, which are convenient for children to understand, inspire their imagination, and are beautiful and interesting.
This book brings together three Italian creators, with wonderful lunar science and humanistic imagination of children.
Andre? Valenti is a famous Italian children's literature writer, who won the "Andersen Award" in Italy twice. In I Want the Moon, every chapter has an interesting fairy tale about the moon, which was written by him.
Susie? Zanela, as the painter of I Want the Moon, is even more important. There are many panoramic illustrations in the book, and the space-like dark blue background looks very shocking. The imagination of the future moon in the book, such as the scene of the future sports meeting on the moon, is shown through Susie's description, and the face painting is beautiful and dreamy. In addition, Susie's paintings are also very elegant, and many details are almost perfectly restored. In the book, the famous Apollo 1 1 is divided into Class I, Class II, Roof of the World, Lunar Module and Command Service Module. If you have seen the real photos, you will find that there is no difference from the description in the book.
Although I Want the Moon is a children's book, its rich content makes adults read it with relish. If you talk about the moon, what can you think of? In this book, there are not only the well-known moon goddess Chang 'e and the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, but also the well-known ancient Greek myth moon goddess Selene and her special day with her lover. In addition, ancient Babylon and the Aztec in the United States have their own legends about the moon. Poets, writers and thinkers of all ages also left many thoughts on the moon. For example, the sci-fi plot described by jules verne in the novel From the Earth to the Moon really happened on the Apollo 1 1 spacecraft a hundred years later. There are also painter Van Gogh's Starry Night, musician Claude Debussy's Moonlight and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Michael Jackson's Moonwalk, and 200 1: A Space Odyssey on the screen, etc. The moon has brought so much inspiration to the world.
As a popular science book, of course, space knowledge is indispensable. I think the moon has solved many secrets about the moon for us. For example, how and when the moon was born, why there are big and small, far and near, how the lunar phase changes, what is the lunar eclipse, the naming and distribution of impact craters, moon valleys and moon mountains on the surface of the moon, and the imagination of the future moon have easy-to-understand explanations. We will also witness human adventures on the moon in the book. From the first artificial satellite flying into space, to the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, the first human footprint on the moon, the famous Apollo project, the world's largest rocket being dismantled in detail, and the plan for scientists to return to the moon. ...
As our close neighbor in space, the moon has been affecting human beings for thousands of years. Inspired by it, we think, we live, we constantly pursue and explore. If you want to know this story with the moon, let's open I Want the Moon.
