Описание: NASA`s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may have the capability to investigate - and answer - some of the most challenging questions in astronomy. This book includes a `pre-history` of JWST, describing the process and some of the key individuals that initiated early work on the concepts that would evolve to become the premier space observatory.

Описание: Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and thrive: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, privacy, beer. Space exploration is in some ways an exploration of what it means to be human. How much can a person give up? How much weirdness can they take? What happens to you when you can t walk for a year? have sex? smell flowers? What happens if you vomit in your helmet during a space walk? Is it possible for the human body to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles per hour? To answer these questions, space agencies set up all manner of quizzical and startlingly bizarre space simulations. As Mary Roach discovers, it s possible to preview space without ever leaving Earth. From the space shuttle training toilet to a crash test of NASA s new space capsule (cadaver filling in for astronaut), Roach takes us on a surreally entertaining trip into the science of life in space and space on Earth.

Описание: This book presents a highly readable yet realistic view of the possibilities for human missions to Mars. It provides for the first time a `level-headed` assessment of plans for human exploration of Mars to counteract the tendency of space agencies to take an over-optimistic approach to such interplanetary missions.
