This is another great book from Mary Roach, author of "Stiff". In this outing, Mary takes on NASA and the space industry and explores all of the issues involved in getting people into space. No issue is too minor to tackle; from eating, drinking, urinating, defecating, having sex, and the problems encountered with all of them. She addresses each issue in depth and takes the time to explain the scientific problems of all of them to us laypeople who may have no idea of the complexities involved in a witty manner. I heartily recommend!
