"When the lights are off And the stars are out, Only shadows move about" When Nicky goes to bed, the familiar objects in his room start to take on scary new shapes. Is that a creepy, crawly snake at the end of the bed? Is there a tall, dark stranger standing by door? Don't worry! The snake is only Nicky's sock and the menacing figure is just his robe hanging on the back of the bedroom door. If you have ever thought there might be someone hiding in your closet or peculiar things underneath the bed, this gentle little book will comfort you and take away all those night-time fears. "But do not fear For they'll be gone, When the switch is turned And the lights are on"

Space stations have been the mainstay and "work horses" of the international aerospace industry for the past three decades. They are highly valued as medical laboratories for learning about the effects of space on humans, astronomy platforms for studying distant stars and galaxies, observation posts for viewing and analyzing environmentally sensitive regions on Earth, and springboards for future human travel to a variety of planets within our solar system and possibly beyond. From the early and relatively simple Skylab, Salyut, and Mir to the modern International Space Station, these platforms have been home to many astronauts from many nations investigating scientific phenomena in a microgravity environment 250 miles in space whirling by at 17,000 miles per hour.
