We're going to read a Historical Astro Girl by Ken
- 00:09 - 00:14
Wilson Max Before we get started, I always like to
- 00:14 - 00:17
use the cover of our book to try to make
- 00:17 - 00:21
some predictions about what we think our story is going
- 00:21 - 00:24
to be about what you think Astro girls about.
- 00:25 - 00:27
I think it's a story about a child astronaut.
- 00:29 - 00:32
Is it a story about someone who might live in
- 00:32 - 00:33
space already?
- 00:34 - 00:35
Let's find out.
- 00:36 - 00:38
One thing I always want to do when I read
- 00:38 - 00:39
are looking at books.
- 00:39 - 00:41
I always like to look at the inside cover because
- 00:41 - 00:44
there's always some really important stuff that we will find
- 00:45 - 00:47
out while Mama's away happened.
- 00:48 - 00:51
Asteroid. Have fun acting out the things that astronaut does
- 00:51 - 00:53
on a spaceman space mission.
- 00:54 - 00:57
Eating food from a package sleeping far away from home.
- 00:58 - 00:59
Doing science experiments.
- 01:00 - 01:01
Astra can do it all.
- 01:02 - 01:06
She will be a great astronaut, but where his model
- 01:06 - 01:11
been Ken Wilson Max's delightful story engaging illustrations bring the
- 01:11 - 01:14
excitement of space travel to the youngest readers.
- 01:16 - 01:20
All right, so let's jump into Astro Girl By Ken
- 01:21 - 01:29
Wilson. Max Astrid had loved the stars in space ever
- 01:29 - 01:32
since she could remember.
- 01:35 - 01:37
I want to be an astronaut, Astra told her best
- 01:37 - 01:40
friend, Jake, as they gazed up at the stars.
- 01:42 - 01:44
Will you bring me an asteroid when you come back
- 01:45 - 01:46
from space as Jake?
- 01:47 - 01:48
Of course I will.
- 01:49 - 01:53
Jakey, I want to be an astronaut.
- 01:54 - 01:55
Astronaut set of breakfast.
- 01:56 - 01:58
Are you sure Papa asked.
- 01:59 - 02:02
You'll have to go around and around the earth in
- 02:02 - 02:02
your spaceship.
- 02:03 - 02:04
He swung her around.
- 02:06 - 02:08
Do you ever have these times with your dad or
- 02:09 - 02:10
your mom or a family member?
- 02:10 - 02:11
Or you get to just play?
- 02:14 - 02:14
I could do that.
- 02:14 - 02:16
Astra said giggling.
- 02:19 - 02:21
What about eating food out of a tube or a
- 02:21 - 02:23
package every day?
- 02:25 - 02:25
I'm not sure.
- 02:26 - 02:26
That sounds good to me.
- 02:27 - 02:29
What about you kind of food?
- 02:29 - 02:31
Do you eat out of a package or two?
- 02:31 - 02:33
Already thought about that?
- 02:33 - 02:37
You might be eating something than asteroid also eats.
- 02:38 - 02:38
I could do that.
- 02:39 - 02:42
Said asteroid as she munched a cereal bar.
- 02:44 - 02:45
Oh, Astro girl.
- 02:46 - 02:48
You'll also have to get used to zero gravity.
- 02:49 - 02:51
Papa through are up in the air.
- 02:52 - 02:54
I could do that all day long.
- 02:55 - 02:56
Astra last.
- 02:59 - 03:01
What about all the science experiments.
- 03:02 - 03:04
Ask Papa, Could you dual those?
- 03:04 - 03:05
My brave explorer?
- 03:08 - 03:13
No problem, said Astra as they made rocket ship cookies.
- 03:15 - 03:16
I want some rocket ship booties.
- 03:18 - 03:20
Well, a space cadet like you be able to sleep
- 03:21 - 03:21
on your own.
- 03:22 - 03:22
Among the stars.
- 03:23 - 03:23
Pop Pass.
- 03:24 - 03:28
I think that will be very hard, but I'll do
- 03:28 - 03:35
it, Astra whispered at the space center.
- 03:35 - 03:37
Astronaut Papa moved to the front of the crowd.
- 03:38 - 03:40
Just at this, doors opened.
- 03:42 - 03:42
Well, I wonder.
- 03:46 - 03:50
Mama Astro gave her mom Mama a big kiss.
- 03:52 - 03:54
I missed you, said Astra.
- 03:57 - 04:01
When you wear Mom's been, I want to be an
- 04:02 - 04:08
astronaut just like you said Astra Year, my hero.
- 04:10 - 04:13
I love that her mom is her hero.
- 04:15 - 04:16
Who's your hero?
- 04:19 - 04:21
Astra has learned a lot about being an astronaut.
- 04:22 - 04:26
The word astronaut comes from two Greek words, the ass
- 04:27 - 04:30
Theron, meaning star and not meaning sailor.
- 04:32 - 04:38
So the Greek translation of astronaut means star sailor.
- 04:39 - 04:39
It's kind of cool.
- 04:41 - 04:44
Astronaut American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the
- 04:44 - 04:47
first to land on the moon in the lunar module
- 04:48 - 04:51
Eagle on July 20th 1969.
- 04:53 - 04:54
Here's a really cool fact.
- 04:55 - 04:57
The first animal to go in the orbit was a
- 04:57 - 05:01
dog named Latka on the Russian Sputnik two spacecraft.
- 05:01 - 05:04
And on November 3rd, 1957.
- 05:06 - 05:11
Now the Americans actually did not send American humans to
- 05:11 - 05:14
space first a lot for you to go out and
- 05:14 - 05:19
actually do a little research and find out who or
- 05:19 - 05:22
what was the first thing the American sent into space.
- 05:24 - 05:30
It wasn't a human now, always really important.
- 05:31 - 05:34
You want to be an astronaut or any career that
- 05:34 - 05:34
you wanna have.
- 05:35 - 05:37
It's always great to do some research.
- 05:37 - 05:39
And maybe along the way you might find some heroes
- 05:40 - 05:46
like Valentino truck dress cough to risk off.
- 05:47 - 05:50
Let me try that one more time, Valentina to rescue
- 05:50 - 05:57
ova Shannon Lucid Make Harold jimson Helen Sharman Help!
- 05:57 - 06:01
Compact. Oh, Kalpana Quite a lot.
- 06:03 - 06:06
And also maybe do a little research on the type
- 06:06 - 06:06
of food.
- 06:07 - 06:10
The I remember being a kid not too long after
- 06:10 - 06:12
the first spaceship landed on the moon.
- 06:12 - 06:15
That he goes 1960 I believe, is what we just
- 06:15 - 06:15
found out.
- 06:16 - 06:18
And a big thing when I was that young was
- 06:19 - 06:22
astronaut food and it was a big thing, especially of
- 06:22 - 06:25
breakfast. I wonder what things you might be eating like
- 06:25 - 06:28
I asked earlier in the story that actually came out
- 06:28 - 06:30
of stuff that we've spent sent to space.
- 06:31 - 06:34
I hope you've enjoyed our story, Astro girl.
- 06:35 - 06:36
And I leave you with this.
- 06:37 - 06:39
Astra has love space ever since she could remember.
- 06:40 - 06:42
She's aiming for the stars.
- 06:43 - 06:45
I have You go out Name for the stars, remember,
- 06:46 - 06:50
Find that hero of yours that help heroes always a
- 06:50 - 06:53
great because they helped guide us to our dreams and
- 06:53 - 06:54
where we want to be.
- 06:55 - 06:57
I hope you've enjoyed Astro Girl.
