This was fun! This one was much better than the shark one I read! It was actually about, you know, space? A few of the facts were a bit off, and I did feel like they spent a liiiitle bit too much time on the whole UFO/aliens thing, but most were actual facts about real space/astronaut stuff. One astronaut fact cracked me up and one I actually googled because it seemed so unrealistic but sure enough, yeah, it’s true. Apparently there really ARE more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way. Wow!! 🤯
