From the acclaimed author of Spook, Bonk and Stiff comes an investigation into life in space and the bizarre training programs space agencies have set up to prepare future astronauts. From the space shuttle training toilet to a crash test of NASA's new space capsule (cadaver filling in for astronaut), Roach takes us on a surreally entertaining trip into the science of life in space, and a deeper exploration of what it means to be human.
