"Questo audiolibro narra la storia leggendaria di come una piccola, meravigliosa e complicata specie, nata su un puntino di roccia e acqua, intorno a una normalissima stella tra centinaia di miliardi di altre stelle, in una galassia tra centinaia di miliardi di altre galassie nell'universo, abbia alzato lo sguardo oltre l'orizzonte e abbia deciso di partire per scoprire ciò che aveva intorno. Senza pensare ai mille pericoli che avrebbe incontrato, senza avere idea di quali sfide avrebbe dovuto affrontare, ma con il cuore pieno di curiosità, passione, ingegno e tanto coraggio.

Spaceflight is notoriously dangerous. Beyond launch mishaps and equipment failures, astronauts face serious health problems from long-term weightlessness and high-energy radiation. Not to mention, the space environment is a near-perfect vacuum that can quickly kill anyone who is unprotected.

It also deals with livability in space, including nutrition, sleep, environmental control, and personal hygiene.
