Rezensionen

Grade 5-9?This book lives up to its title. The flight to fix the Hubble Space Telescope is viewed as an adventure rather than as a repair house call. The mission is described in exciting detail, from the years of preparation to the shuttle Endeavour's homecoming. The astronauts are portrayed as three-dimensional people, which helps readers identify with them. There are many full-color photographs throughout; those taken from the shuttle are breathtaking, showing closeups of the astronauts with the Earth featuring prominently in the background. This is an excellent addition for all libraries. It describes one of the most important space missions to date and effectively captures the participants' spirit, skill, and dedication.?Margaret M.
