Was it fun to do a space walk? How squashed were you in the capsule on
the way back? What were your feelings as you looked down on Earth for
the first time? Were you ever scared? Where to next -- the Moon, Mars,
or beyond?
Based on his historic mission to the International Space Station, Ask an
Astronaut is Tim Peake's guide to life in space, and his answers to the
thousands of questions he has been asked since his return to Earth. With
explanations ranging from the mundane -- how do you wash your clothes or
go to the bathroom while in orbit? -- to the profound -- what's the
point? -- all written in Tim's characteristically warm style, Tim shares
his thoughts on every aspect of space exploration.
From training for the mission to launch, to his historic spacewalk, to
re-entry, he reveals for readers of all ages the cutting-edge science
behind his groundbreaking experiments, and the wonders of daily life on
board the International Space Station. The public was invited to submit
questions using the hashtag #askanastronaut, and a selection are
answered by Tim in the book, accompanied with illustrations, diagrams,
and never-before-seen photos.
