Book
Meanwhile back on Earth / Oliver Jeffers ; all calculations made by astrophysicist Stephen Smartt.
Merging space travel with a road trip, a father drives all over the solar system at 37mph in order to allow his children to view the conflicts of Earth's history in the rearview mirror. Whether it's only been the 78 years it takes to drive to Venus or the 8,000 it takes to get to Neptune, humans have been fighting each other for small pieces of space on our planet.

A father takes his two children on a thrilling out-of-this-world adventure into space and invites them to look back at Earth and the conflicts that have taken place since the beginning of time. This becomes a brief history of the world and a guide to the universe, told with Oliver Jeffers's inimitable perspective, wit, and exquisite artwork. Meanwhile Back on Earth gives a unique look at life on Earth with a cosmic perspective--and an enduring message that what binds us together matters more than what sets us apart.
