Third Book in The Adventures of Curtis, Connie, and Cosmic Cat

I'm about ninety pages into my eighty page third book in The Adventures of Curtis, Connie, and Cosmic Cat. When reduced to its six by nine inch format and add the drawings this will be about fifteen pages over the hundred and fifty I was shooting for. I still have about ten more pages to write. I'll either have to make this book longer or cut some things out. It's better than having to add something in.

Science Snippet for today:

When an astronaut is launched into space it is during a window—what is meant by this?

A launch window is determined by the relative velocity and position of the object in space that the astronaut is attempting to reach. Most space launches are limited in their ability to reach a desired target. This is because of the limitation of thrust and fuel carrying ability. A rocket must be launched within a certain time or it won’t have enough fuel to reach the place in space it is trying to get to. This is sort of like when an athlete is running a relay race. The athlete must start out, at the correct time, and get to the other racer at the correct time with the correct velocity or the baton won’t be passed correctly.
