Lonnie Schorer was the special guest for this Space Show program. Ms. Schorer discussed her new book, "Kids To Space" which is published by Apogee Books, but the program evolved into a comprehensive discussion of kids education regarding space and related topics. Lonnie explained how the idea for the book came about, what happened when she began contacting schools and parents to participate in the project, and the contributions by the kids as well as the space experts she consulted with to answer the kids questions. Toward the end of the show, we read some of the statements by the kids regarding their desire to go to space. Their comments are most revealing, even the comments indicating no desire to go to space. The book is superb, organized quite well, and I believe most adults will find the questions and the answers stimulating. This is much more than a kids book and Lonnie has done an incredible job putting this book together. With a forward by Buzz Aldrin, prologues by Sir Arthur C. Clark, Burt Rutan and Neil deGrasse Tyson, you will be in for a journey you will appreciate and you will want to share with your kids and all kids. This book really is a "A Space Traveler's Guide" and Lonnie was able to demonstrate this on today's Space Show. You will not want to miss this program, you will want to share it with your kids and everyone you know. If you have additional comments or questions for Lonnie Schorer or other feedback per her request near the end of the program, please share it with her at LonnieSchorer@aol.com.
