You might add The Astronaut's Handbook by Meghan McCarthy to your list- it's wonderful.
Astronaut Handbook would indeed be a fine choice. It's fun, engaging, and a Cybil's nominee in nonfiction picture books.
Elaine Scott's When Is a Planet Not a Planet? is fabulous but she also has a new book, Mars and the Search for Life (Clarion, 2008). Also a wonderful choice.
Are there any kid's books on the new extra-solar planets recently discovered? If not, someone should write one.
There is a great, though admittedly dated TinTin (Herge) two-volume graphic novel about voyaging to the moon.
The Man Who Went to the Far Side of the Moon, about Michael Collins, is frequently overlooked, but shouldn't be. While Collins never got to walk on the moon, in some ways he's the most soulful of that batch of guys, and this is an interesting book.
