Description

Who wouldn’t want to know how the living modules of the ISS are arranged, how astronauts clean their teeth in space, how they eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom? What do astronauts learn before a flight, and what guides them when forming a crew? Why is the most useful quality for an astronaut’s career—modesty—and the most harmful—height? What skills are needed in orbit, and why are they useful in everyday life on Earth?

Chris Hadfield spent nearly 4,000 hours in space and is considered one of the most experienced and popular astronauts in the world. His knowledge of spaceflight and his ability to tell about it in an interesting and engaging way have no equal. However, this book is not only about what spaceflight and life in orbit are like. It is the story of a person who dreamed of space since the age of nine—and managed to realize his dream, even though, it seemed, there were no chances at all. This is a real-life textbook for those who have a dream and the drive to make it come true.
