Life in Outer Space

Since the first manned spacecraft left our atmosphere in 1961, we've been curious to know just how humans survive this strange and difficult environment. Where do they sleep? Do they bathe? How do they prepare and eat meals? How do they work? What do they do with their spare time? This fascinating book details it all, providing insight into the life of astronauts on space shuttles, the history of the International Space Station orbiting 250 miles above Earth, and NASA's plans for visits to nearby solar systems.
