ISO 24801 Recreational diving services — Requirements for the training of recreational scuba divers The premise of the book is rather straightforward. It's 1969, and Chris's parents tell him that if he can't stay in his own bed, he won't be able to go watch the moon landing on the neighbor's TV the following evening. The moon landing is mind-boggling in itself, but something even more important catches Chris's attention – he never noticed how dark it was in space. This new dark holds infinite promise, and it makes the ordinary dark of his bedroom less daunting. Hadfield, Chris (2021). The Apollo Murders. New York: Little, Brown and Company. ISBN 978-0-316-26473-0.A young boy dreams of space but fears the dark in this engaging picture-book autobiography from Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, co-written with Kate Fillion and illustrated by the fabulously talented Fan brothers. Convinced that aliens are lurking in the dark, young Chris has trouble at bedtime, and doesn't really want to sleep in a separate room from his parents. But when he watches the Apollo 11 moon landing on TV in July of 1969, while on vacation on Stag Island, Ontario, he realizes that outer space, the very thing he finds most entrancing, is the darkest dark there is. This leads to a reassessment of what darkness is, and how he feels about it, as well as to a life-long goal of getting out into that darkness...

I really enjoyed the additional material included. The short summary by Chris on how he became an astronaut as well as pictures from his childhood through to space link the story to real life, giving a greater depth to the experience. a b "UTSI Grad Aboard Atlantis Space Shuttle" (Press release).
