Description
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon. For the next three years, several other missions to the moon helped scientists learn more about space travel. However, nobody has been to the moon since 1972. Today, NASA is planning to go back to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years. In this non-fiction graphic novel, young readers can tag along with Max Axiom and the Society of Super Scientists to discover how NASA plans to finally return to the moon and establish a permanent presence on Earth's closest neighbour.
