Moving to the Moon is a fascinating blend of science, technology and imaginative storytelling that explores humanity’s past, present and future relationship with our nearest celestial neighbour. Only 12 humans have ever walked on the Moon, but new missions are already being planned – not just to visit, but to build a permanent lunar base that could one day support travel to Mars and beyond.

Written by the award-winning creators of Moving to Mars, this beautifully illustrated book takes readers on an engaging journey through lunar science, space exploration and future possibilities.

Inside this book:

• The history of the Moon and its role in human culture and mythology
• The story of the Space Race and the first Moon landings
• How the Moon formed and its relationship with Earth
• What life on a future Moon base could look like
• How lunar exploration could lead to missions to Mars and beyond

Discover how the Moon formed, why it became the ultimate prize of the Space Race, and what life on a lunar colony might look like. Explore what would happen to Earth without the Moon, and how it could become a stepping stone for humanity’s future in deep space.

Perfect for curious readers aged 8+, Moving to the Moon introduces children to space science, astronomy, the Solar System, STEM learning and the future of human exploration in an exciting and accessible way.
