Young Stowaways in Space

Two orphan boys secretly stow away on a space taxi to watch a ship bound for a space station, but a remote-control failure sends their craft drifting into deep space. They locate manual controls, contend with zero gravity, mechanical malfunctions, and dangerous maneuvers, and witness satellite operations and station procedures. After further mishaps force abandonment of the ship, they arrive on the Moon, confront isolation, startling discoveries, and personal losses, and must rely on friendship and quick thinking to survive and build a new life in unfamiliar surroundings. The story blends adventure, practical problem-solving, and accessible science for younger readers.
