Download Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void AudioBook Free
Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and flourish: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, level of privacy, beer. Space exploration is in some ways an exploration of what it means to be human. How much can a person quit? How much weirdness can they take? What goes on to you when you can't walk for yearly? Have sex? Smell flowers? What goes on if you vomit in your helmet throughout a space walk? Is it feasible for the human body to make it through a bailout at 17,000 miles each hour? To answer these questions, space businesses set up all types of quizzical and startlingly bizarre space simulations. As Mary Roach discovers, it is possible to preview space without ever before leaving Earth. From the area shuttle training toilet to an accident test of NASA's new space capsule (cadaver filling in for astronaut), Roach requires us over a surreally engaging trip in to the knowledge of life in space and space on Earth.
