How to live in space : everything you need to know for the not-so-distant future / Colin Stuart. by Stuart, Colin (Science writer) Smithsonian Books, 2018. Call #: 629.45 S929h Subjects Manned space flight.   Interplanetary voyages.   Planets -- Environmental engineering. ISBN:  9781588346384 (pbk.) Description:  192 p. : col. ill. ; 22 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "Now that suborbital space tourism is predicted to become a billion-dollar industry in the next ten years, and NASA has announced its plans for landing humans on Mars in the 2030s, the dream of traveling and living in space is taking on new reality. But how can we survive and thrive in the zero-gravity, absolute-zero far reaches of space? How to Live in Space is chock-full of all the essential information you need to equip yourself for life beyond our blue planet. Grounded in space science, planetary biology, and rocket science, this accessible guide propels readers through takeoff, life in orbit, terraforming, and the long-term effects of space on the human body. Infographics and full-color illustrations help the book answer your burning questions, including: How do you sleep in microgravity? How do you grow food without water? Will your muscles waste away out there? How do you protect yourself from radiation? This is a light-hearted yet informative guide to a life far from terra firma."--From publisher.
