I can’t be the only person to look at those bright, shiny group portraits of astronauts and wonder – is that how it really is? For the answer, Mary Roach is your woman, and in this often extremely funny book she reveals just what it’s like to be crammed in a space ship with your fellow man or woman - and their various bodily functions. We find out the hidden dangers of dandruff, how to cope with toilets in zero gravity and what to do if you feel like throwing up in space (don’t, is the answer). What goes in must come out – but oh, the problems it causes the researchers and scientists!
