What's It Like in Space? by Ariel Waldman
Everyone wonders what it’s really like in space, but very few of us ever have the chance to experience it firsthand. This captivating illustrated collection brings together stories from dozens of international astronauts—men and women who’ve actually been there—bringing back accounts of the sometimes weird, often funny, and awe inspiring sensations and realities of being in space.With playful artwork accompanying each, here are the real stories behind backwards 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 the Earth’s orbit.
