Michael Williams Goes to Space

Science isn't about wearing thick glasses and talking down to people in a nasally whine. Science isn't about fighting tradition or advancing an agenda.

Science is about riding what could have been a nuclear missile into outer space. Science is about attacking chemicals with math until you blow something up. Science is about living on a space station that spins like a top to create "artificial gravity." Science is about learning about other cultures and other people. Science is about looking at all the cool things in scifi movies and anime and asking, "how can we make that in real life?"

Micheal Williams is twelve years old, and his parents have just been hired to work on a space station named after a legendary blacksmith whose forge created miracles. Micheal is going to be living in a place where dreams get hammered into reality, and all he has to do is remember one little rule:

Don't. Touch. Anything.
