How to Live in Space: Everything You Need to Know for the Not-So-Distant Future Review: Sneaky Read ( The more you read and think - the more you find) - Originally borrowed from library Kept reading it and finding new details Bought it to keep track of research notes Kudos to deliverer - Delivered despite a raging thunderstorm Review: Wonderful Photographs, Interesting Stories About Life in a New Environment - Space is no longer the final frontier, it's where men and women are living now. In How to Live in Space, Colin Stuart, a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, explains what is required to keep human beings alive in space. In around forty short chapters with accompanying photographs (many taken from space) the author explains how spiders spin webs in zero-G, how astronauts exercise in space, how they sleep, and how they keep their spacecraft clean. We learn how the physics of flame and smoke in in a weightless environment makes a fire in space so dangerous. My favorite photograph from the book is astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson looking pensively down at Earth through windows from the International Space Station. During the Cold War and so-called Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union there was no formal cooperation between the superpowers. But now Russians train and launch Western astronauts on Soyuz rockets from Baikonur. and the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne selects and trains European crew members for space missions. How to Live in Space tells the stories of early space pioneers, like Robert Goddard and Werner von Braun. There are several interesting articles on what it would take to reach Mars, what hazards have to be overcome, and what life on a terraformed Red Planet might be like. If you or someone you know is interested in any aspect of outer space, get Colin Stuart's How to Live in Space. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,183,146 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #179 in Mars #749 in Astronautics & Space Flight #1,677 in Aeronautics & Astronautics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (13) | | Dimensions | 7.06 x 0.44 x 8.55 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1588346382 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1588346384 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | September 25, 2018 | | Publisher | Smithsonian Books | ## Images ![How to Live in Space: Everything You Need to Know for the Not-So-Distant Future - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91DOIJB-49L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sneaky Read ( The more you read and think - the more you find) *by C***S on June 29, 2020* Originally borrowed from library Kept reading it and finding new details Bought it to keep track of research notes Kudos to deliverer - Delivered despite a raging thunderstorm ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Photographs, Interesting Stories About Life in a New Environment *by T***F on July 16, 2018* Space is no longer the final frontier, it's where men and women are living now.

I was a bit disappointed to find that this was written on a level for middle school children. It’s not nearly as in depth as I was expecting. That said, the information offered does match what I have read from other sources, such as Astronomy magazine. It’s an excellent resource for kids or for adults who are curious about the topic but haven’t read about it before. There are lots of pictures and sidebars, so much so that I believe they make up more of the book than the main entries themselves. But that’s JustMe. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/69417050-how-to-live-in-space-everything-you-need-to-know](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/69417050-how-to-live-in-space-everything-you-need-to-know) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
