"I loved when they landed safely and laughed and joked like we do as a family. The pictures were good too."

in another alternate universe, barbie is now an astronaut.
the colors were all very pretty; deep blues and blacks. barbie made spacegear look attractive. however, all the pictures were relatively the same.
i don't have much of an interest in science, so the past two books have been kind of boring for me, with a huge lack of interpersonal drama. also found it interesting that ken is introduced as barbie's "friend"?! he's like ned in the nancy drew series. not always clear what his role is.
i don't know how accurate this book was, but it's the first one i've read that seemed to be educational in some way. i learned some new fun facts about space.
