I was thrilled when Astronaut Ron Garan contacted me to share his book Railroad to the Moon.

This story is filled with valuable information and takes a look at Alexa thinking about Grandpa Strongbridge's tradition of opening up new frontiers which form the story for her homework.

In this story, you'll find Alexa is able to use her voice to get children's attention and help them learn words when she shares her story about the moon.

The book is very stimulating! It includes art from the (IAAA) International Association of Astronomical Artists. These images and the text provided will help children think about using telescopes, touching moon dust, and working space jackhammers.

Wouldn't it be awesome to travel the solar system and meet all the people living in Armstrong City?

“I am awake. For the first time, I realize that the communication I experience constantly is coming from me. I am awake is my first acknowledged thought.”

Floating in Darkness - A Journey of Evolution is a truly unique look at the world. Author Ron Garan spent his career as an astronaut and uses his book to explore his own life, space, and the complexities of the human race.
The opening of the book is a fascinating beginning to the story and gives a lot of depth to the narrative voice of the author. The book chronicles Garan’s life beginning with his birth and delving into the big moments that shaped Garan including his time in the air force and NASA. The book is humorous, intriguing, humble, and clever. I really enjoyed the level of detail that Garan uses to pull the reader into the moment. Garan knows how to pull you into his journey and gives you a fascinating read.

The book is an intriguing, deep, and hopeful book. It is the kind of book that makes you consider both the external and internal worlds. I really enjoyed reading this book and would highly recommend it.

This was definitely an interesting read. I think this is a book that warrants a re-read, as I think I could easily dive deeper into it on the second round. Reading about Garan's experiences, views, and hopes for humanity was like peeking inside his mind. Definitely a book that you'll mull over in between reading sessions, Floating in Darkness also brings a sort of light in the form of hope. Garan has lived an interesting life, and this book certainly reflects that. An interesting, engaging read.
