Mary Roach has written a highly entertaining and fact filled book covering preparations to travel into space. Get a behind the scenes look at a world of 99%
preparation and 1% actual time in space. She covers the origami test
used on Japanese space candidates. She describes how the selection
process differs for the psychological profile of someone spending two
weeks in space versus someone who will spend more than a year in space.
She describes the zero gravity problems associated with keeping clean,
using the toilet, and eating food. She deals with the real problems of
getting someone back in the capsule when they are caught euphoria of the
space walk.
