I liked seeing the pictures of the space station, especially the outside shots of the whole shebang, because I was unfamiliar with what it looked like. It would have been even better with floor plans and cutaways, since the "building" is so interesting!
I looked at both the regular edition of this and the Young Readers Edition and there were a couple oddities worth noting. With the regular edition, the pages have deckled edges, which I'm not a fan of. It makes it difficult to page through it. So I thought that on that technical ground, the Young Readers Edition would be much nicer. Boy was I wrong!! The smaller-scale Young Readers Edition is printed on *amazingly* cheap paper stock. It's less pleasant to touch than newsprint because it has a nasty texture that makes *this* human being, and anyone else like me, feel nasty unpleasant shivers. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard for your fingertips.
Both books have a different selection of illustrations, so if you're interested in the subject, you should really look at both editions.
I like the fact that the Young Readers Edition has a glossary and slang definitions at the back.
