Horace in Space

Horace is a boy pig who dreams of flying to space in a spaceship or a rocket. He loves his colorful dreams and adventures in space. One day, a man called and invited Horace to fly in space to the International Space Station (ISS). Horace was excited, and he started packing a suitcase. His favorite snacks were packed in an outside zipper case. Then Horace learned he could not take a suitcase or his favorite snacks. He was shown how to put on a space suit for his flight into space. The rocket lifted from the ground, flew Horace straight to the ISS, and then his spaceship docked. Horace had arrived! While at the ISS and in space, Horace learned about the space station, how to take a spacewalk, and he thought he had a floor he was walking on, but no!
