WIĘC CHCESZ SIĘ WYBRAĆ W KOSMOS? Co takiego? Zupełnie ci odbiło? Dlaczego? Nie, no, naprawdę – to po prostu okropny, naprawdę OKROPNY pomysł. My, ludzie, jesteśmy DOSKONALE zaprojektowani do życia na Ziemi. Możemy na niej chodzić, oddychać, pić wodę, jeść warzywa, czytać książki i nie zamarznąć, nie smażyć się ani nie dać się zgnieść na miazgę po wyjściu na zewnątrz. Na Ziemi jest cudnie! Ludzie od lat marzą o odkrywaniu najdalszych zakątków Kosmosu. Dara Ó Briain, popularny na Wyspach prezenter telewizyjny i komik, z dużym poczuciem humoru i swadą wprowadza dzieci w ten fascynujący świat.
Science fiction meets science fact in this brand new book from the UK and Ireland's best-loved comedian, Dara O Briain. So - is there anybody out there? NO. Well, maybe. Sort your science fiction from your science fact and find out what to say (and how to say it) when you meet an extra-terrestrial being.
So you want to go into space? WHY?! (No, really - it's sort of a terrible idea. We humans are perfectly designed for life on Earth. We can walk around, breathe, drink water, eat vegetables, read books, not get poisoned or crushed to death when we go outside - it's lovely right where we are.) Not convinced? GOOD! People have been dreaming about space travel for centuries - there's something amazing about the idea of leaving our planet behind and setting out to explore the Universe - there's so much we still don't know. UK and Ireland's best-loved comedian Dara O Briain takes you on a journey from the safety of your comfiest chair to the furthest reaches of space (and beyond!)
So you think everyday life is boring?! Hoo-ee, are you wrong! There's so much EXTRAORDINARY science going on from the minute you wake up to when you go to sleep. While you're asleep, too. Dara O Briain, takes you on a journey from the comfort of your favourite chair to the incredible science behind your everyday life and on into the future!
