Astronauts

Star Dragons: Wings, Flames, and Magic ABO.

Pierre Durand, a man with a cautiously optimistic outlook, spends his final days in Brittany reminiscing about his childhood, youth, and love of archaeology. During this time, he revisits the historical books discovered during an excavation and hand-bound by his uncle, Armel Durand. Among these volumes, Pierre's favorite has always been "Star Dragons: Wings, Flames, and Magic." He believed the book to be about ancient astronauts and interstellar wars, but found it to contain much more than just stories of dragons and their primal energies. In addition to fascinating tales about these elemental creatures of the universe, representing all colors and their counterparts, the book also uncovered plots of romance, conspiracy, and epic battles between good and evil. These dragons, remnants of a vast and ancient power, captivated Pierre and accompanied him throughout his missions and travels. On another planet, Pierre encounters both love and heartbreak. Forced to navigate between his own emotions and those of others, he confronts his deepest fears and insecurities. Along his journey, Pierre must learn to deal with the forces that govern the universe—whether they be physical, spiritual, or mystical. Amid difficult choices, Pierre faces challenges that test his courage and determination, leading him to confront an uncertain future thousands of years ahead of his time. In his quest for answers, he discovers that the secrets of the past may hold the key to redemption or eternal ruin.

INVISIBLE MAN AND THE SPACE ADVENTURE

Mr. Smith has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David's 'Space Oddity' in space. The secret to Smith's success – and survival – is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst – and enjoy every moment of it. In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Smith takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement – and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff. You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Smith. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth – especially your own.
