Creatively interspersed throughout the book youll find tweets from Tysons popular Twitter feed (@neiltyson), which add some levity to section breaks. The United States first achievement was the explorer one which was the first satellite sent into space. The first animals in space are fruit flies, launched by the USA. When kids see images of earth from space, and astronauts floating around space stations like balloons, they are inspired to learn and push themselves to be that person one day, almost the same as people are inspired by Olympic athletes to push their bodies.
