How space food is produced and consumed, and why we would not want to have NASA take over our campus dining services. How sex in space would work, and if anyone has ever given it a shot. We learn: How astronauts urinate and defecate in space, and how this process has changed from the early Apollo missions to the space shuttle to the space station. Mary Roach's "Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void" is the perfect book for anyone who is curious about the ins and outs (literally) of space travel. Some Things We Learn from "Packing for Mars" Whether you are drawn to aviation and space, or have a fear of heights, you will still enjoy this book and probably come away with a better appreciation for everyone involved in any space agency.
Everyone else would enjoy the book as well, but not as much as someone who has in interest in the subjects discussed. I'd recommend this book to anyone with an interest in space or aviation.
Expect to learn more about these things than you ever thought you could or would, and laugh while you do. Prepare to embark on a journey of nausea, potty training, a bit of history, aero- and astrodynamics, and other stuff NASA doesn't like to talk about on a day-to-day basis. Sandra does a good job putting emphasis where I think Mary wanted it. Having finished the book, I can say that had anyone else read it or if I had tried to read it myself, I might have not gotten as much out of it as I did.
I wasn't sure to expect when I started reading this book, so I left my expectations at the cover. What You Probably Don't Realize About NASA & Space
