Author: Gary Kitmacher
Publisher: Smithsonian Institution
ISBN: 1588346323
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
A rich visual history of real and fictional space stations, illustrating pop culture's influence on the development of actual space stations and vice versa Space stations represent both the summit of space technology and, possibly, the future of humanity beyond Earth. Space Stations: The Art, Science, and Reality of Working in Space takes the reader deep into the heart of past, present, and future space stations, both real ones and those dreamed up in popular culture. This lavishly illustrated book explains the development of space stations from the earliest fictional visions through historical and current programs--including Skylab, Mir, and the International Space Station--and on to the dawning possibilities of large-scale space colonization. Engrossing narrative and striking images explore not only the spacecraft themselves but also how humans experience life aboard them, addressing everything from the development of efficient meal preparation methods to experiments in space-based botany. The book examines cutting-edge developments in government and commercial space stations, including NASA's Deep Space Habitats, the Russian Orbital Technologies Commercial Space Station, and China's Tiangong program. Throughout, Space Stations also charts the fascinating depiction of space stations in popular culture, whether in the form of children's toys, comic-book spacecraft, settings in science-fiction novels, or the backdrop to TV series and Hollywood movies. Space Stations is a beautiful and captivating history of the idea and the reality of the space station from the nineteenth century to the present day.

Endurance
Author: Scott Kelly
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1524731609
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 439
Book Description
NATIONAL BEST SELLER A stunning, personal memoir from the astronaut and modern-day hero who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station—a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come. The veteran of four spaceflights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly hostile to human life. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both life-threatening and mundane: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the catastrophic risks of colliding with space junk; and the still more haunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home--an agonizing situation Kelly faced when, on a previous mission, his twin brother's wife, American Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two months in space. Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and determination resonate throughout, as he recalls his rough-and-tumble New Jersey childhood and the youthful inspiration that sparked his astounding career, and as he makes clear his belief that Mars will be the next, ultimately challenging, step in spaceflight. In Endurance, we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the infinite wonder of the galaxy.

ISBN: 9781699622995
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Space, a 30-day devotional, will help you learn how to create sustainable rhythms of work, play and rest while reminding you that God loves you for who you are, not for what you can do. Raised in a home that valued productivity over everything else, Manda was enrolled in multiple activities at all times and lived in a constant hurry from one thing to the next. In college, she nearly killed herself going to school, competing on the track team, and working at three different jobs -one of which was the graveyard shift stocking shelves at a beauty supply store. Manda had no idea how to function without an overwhelmingly busy schedule or leave room for rest. Eventually, she became physically ill, crabby, and emotionally drained. In 2018, God's voice caught Manda's attention in the midst of a run and the call for space was clear. Though she didn't have a clue how to change the pace of her life, God made it clear one step at a time until her life looked entirely different and her mind, body and spirit were transformed. "This is more than a helpful or inspiring resource. It is an invitation that takes you by the hand and dares you to reset. Manda walks with you and leads you closer to Jesus every step of the way. Every woman feeling that she is overwhelmed, exhausted, or lacking space needs this!" - Jordan Lee Dooley, Bestselling Author of Own Your Everyday
