Is there life in outer space? Throughout history, no other subject has fascinated humanity as much as the infinity of the sky, the countless stars, suns, and planets.

By carefully observing the stars, the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians learned much about the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton used telescopes to radically change our perception of the universe, and now space flights have become routine. We send satellites and probes that teach us more and more.

But only a few are selected to fly into space. What does an astronaut need to know? What does he do up there? How does he live? How does he eat, sleep, or go to the bathroom? What does Earth look like from above?

This book explicitly and captivatingly shows everything that happens inside an international space station and how astronauts live in zero gravity. The surprising windows and playful elements, such as the flight simulator and star map, both explain and fascinate at the same time.
