Book Worm's Story Snacks | One Small Worm, One Giant Universe What's it really like to float two hundred and fifty miles above the Earth?

Join Book Worm on this out-of-this-world Story Snack and step aboard the International Space Station — the most extraordinary thing human beings have ever built — where everything floats, sixteen sunrises happen every single day, and six astronauts are living and working right now, as you listen, above your head.

Meet Vera, an astronomer who has spent fifty years looking up at the ISS through her telescope — and has never once been inside it. Discover why orbiting Earth is really just falling sideways very fast, learn what the thin blue line hugging our planet actually is, and suit up for a spacewalk where the only thing between you and the silence of space is a helmet, a backpack full of oxygen, and a tether you really don't want to let go of.

Together, you'll discover that seeing our whole planet at once — small, bright, and fragile in all that black — changes the way you look at everything.
