It will be the greatest adventure that humans have ever embarked on. Six years in space, away from Earth, voyaging further and faster than anyone before them. Demanding the courage to face incredible dangers, it is a quest that will define new frontiers for our species. This is the story of Project Pegasus, the first manned voyage to the planets. Witness, through the eyes of the five astronaut-explorers, the extraordinary sights of our solar the superheated lava fields of volcanic Venus, gigantic Martian dust devils and the fragile, dark surface of a comet that disintegrates as you try to land on it. Join the crew as they chart the inhospitable landscapes of our neighbouring planets and take a death defying fly-by of the Sun to accelerate them towards the outer giant planets and the forbidding, frozen worlds of Pluto and Charon. The story is told in the team s own words. Their mission may still be fiction, but their experiences are rooted in those of the real astronauts who have already flown to another world, and lived for months in orbiting space stations. Vivid images, inspired and informed by forty years of real robotic exploration of the planets, ensure that Space Odyssey is the most accurate portrayal possible of such a voyage until the day it becomes a reality.

Released in July 2019 for the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing "Where Once We Stood" captures the first-hand accounts of an extraordinary chapter in our history, when twelve human beings set foot upon the Moon. Combining a unique series of illustrations with the words spoken by the astronauts on the lunar surface, this book offers a rare insight into what it really felt like to live and work on another world; something that those who'd experienced it often found hard to convey. The author Christopher Riley has spent a lifetime studying the Apollo project and interviewing many of the astronauts, their friends and families. In this special collaboration, he's joined forces with artist Martin Impey, whose paintings of the missions have been credited by the astronauts themselves, as capturing the essence of their lunar encounters. The resulting book brings a new dimension to the timeless story of Apollo's extraordinary adventures on the Moon. From the first footprints left by Neil and Buzz during their pioneering walk on the Sea of Tranquility, to the final ambitious expeditions - as astronauts drove an electric car deep into the mountains of the Moon, this is a revealing record of what it truly meant to explorer a place beyond Earth - where once we stood.

"The son of first-generation Tongan immigrants, Hau drew on the legacy of his name (meaning 'King') to become one of the nation's most influential musical artists. But the best stories often come from the humblest beginnings. A promising junior rugby player, Hau decided in his teens to trade in the footy boots for Hammer pants, soaking up every bar and breakbeat of the new sound and culture exploding out of urban America- DJ Kool Herc and LL Cool J, mix-tapes and graffiti, velour Kangols and Beat Street. Determined to be more innovator than imitator, the rhymes that eventually burst from his volumes of notebooks and epic freestyle sessions with friends and co-conspirators would express what was happening in his backyard, in his community, in his voice. Along with DJ Danielsan, Hau would form Koolism, one of the seminal acts in Australian hip hop and winner of the ARIA's inaugural Best Urban Release award in 2004. This bolt from the blue began a professional journey that would evolve over decades and play out over iconic albums, reflecting the simple joys of life, the love of family, the loss of faith and the tragedy of lives cut short. When Hau decided to pass the mic, it also announced his next incarnation - acting as mentor and producer for a new generation of up-and-coming Australian artists, including the gritty drill-rap phenomenon out of Mount Druitt- OneFour."-- Provided by publisher
