02. Is there a spaceflight tutorial or a training manual? Is there a reading list? How much do we have to know before we can leave for space? (A K2S Question)

This book, Kids to Space: A Space Traveler's Guide, is a private spaceflight guide! Other books that we recommend before your flight are The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and Our Universe by Roy Gallant. The only thing you need to learn is how to stay safe on your trip—just like when you board an airplane—and how to have a great time, which probably you already know how to do. Any training would help you do those two things. Before you leave you won't need to know any more than that, although for fun you might want to learn a little more about the spaceship you are on, how it works, and what cool things you can do while you are out in space.
