Summary

Everyone wonders what it's really like in space, but very few of us have ever had the chance to experience it firsthand. This captivating collection brings together stories from dozens of international astronauts - men and women who've actually been there - who have returned with accounts of the sometimes weird, often funny, and awe-inspiring sensations and realities of being in space.

Here are the real stories behind backward dreams, "moon face", the tricks of sleeping in zero gravity and aiming your sneeze during a spacewalk, the importance of packing hot sauce, and dozens of other cosmic quirks and amazements that come with travel in and beyond low Earth orbit.

interesting, but not stories

I was hoping this would be real stories, but it's really a collection of one-line snippets, some don't seem to be in any particular order. It's very interesting, and sometimes very funny, but not as engaging as if the facts has been flashed out a bit more.
