'Sarah Cruddas is a gifted writer and Look Up is an inspired book.
I am hopeful that we will never stop looking up.' Apollo 11
astronaut Michael Collins Most of us have never been to space. To
date, of the more than 100 billion humans that have ever existed,
fewer than 600 humans have ever left Earth. But the exploration of
space is the most significant thing we will ever do as a species.
Sarah Cruddas has been looking to the skies her entire life. Her
childhood was spent staring at the Moon and hearing stories of the
space race, and she worked in a fruit factory to fund her love of
the subject. Her subsequent career studying astrophysics, and
becoming a television host and space journalist has seen her report
on space exploration and chase launches across the world. In Look
Up Sarah explains why she has always been a passionate advocate for
why space should matter - to everyone. From our ancestors who first
painted patterns of the stars in caves, to the US and Soviet
pioneers who first forged a path beyond our planet, Sarah Cruddas
explores the stories and sacrifices that humankind has made to
understand more about our place in the universe. And even today,
when Moon walking and people in space suits seem less relevant to
us than climate change and conflicts here on Earth, she shows how
everything from medicine to mobile phones is affected by space
technology, and how a new generation of entrepreneurs have
kick-started a new story with the stars. This is an inspirational
and enlightening introduction to the importance of space to
everyone, and why we should all learn to Look Up.
