Pip thinks that a great way to celebrate is to read one of the Rocket Team books.  If you can't find one at your local library, ask the librarian to order one for you.

They are available from several online sources, including Amazon.com/auth/mickeykulp.

Below is a sample moon image from Mickey Kulp, creator of the Rocket Team series of children's picture books.  He is creating an educational space art book suitable for all ages - even adults.

A small flock of Kounotori (‘white stork’ in Japanese) delivers cargo to many different Moon stations.

Each of these automated ships is bringing six tons of supplies to lunar orbit.

The Japanese space agency (JAXA) is proud of these dependable, workhorse vehicles.
