Reusable rockets is all about rockets that are, well, reusable.  Space X has one that they are hoping to use again - it has landed safely and is now ready to be reused.  This is a really cool concept and SpaceX is doing a lot of really great things with rockets.  Maybe that means eventually we'll be able to travel really fast and live on Mars?

Review of eBook

Part of the Tech Bytes series, “Reusable Rockets” takes middle grade readers from the days of Sputnik to the cutting edge of craft under development by private companies such as Space X and Blue Origin. With an accelerated reader level range of 6.0-6.9, the book is suitable for students in grades four through six who are interested in rockets and space exploration.

Divided into four chapters, the book introduces readers to the history of rockets, tells how rockets are making history, discusses the challenges of additional flights, and then looks at using reusable rockets today and what the future holds for them. Each section includes several “Did You Know?” mini-fact boxes relevant to the information presented in the section. Photographs, many full-page, supplement and support the information in each chapter. This science information book provides readers with relevant information presented in a straightforward manner that students will find easy to understand.

A short list of books and websites for additional reading is included following the text.

Recommended.

As a teacher, I know I have students every year who would definitely be interested in reading about this topic! It's definitely a high-interest topic for children. However, there is a lot of information on each page, and that hides the great information that is included in this book. I think less information on each page, and a more visually appealing layout would be easier on the eyes of young readers.
