*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
What is it like in outer space? If you could leave the ordinary, everyday life behind and take your next vacation in space, would you? Dr. Kirby Runyon invites you to explore accessible places on Earth that are reminiscent of planets and moons throughout space. These are real places you can actually visit and experiences you can actually have that give a hint about what it must be like in space. Joining his expert voice is that of keynote speaker and 1980s pop-culture guru Chris Clews, who brings irreverent levity often lacking in books about space exploration. Chris' influence might have even rubbed off on Kirby, making a nerdy scientist a tiny bit funnier than he otherwise would be. Along with descriptions of space-like places you can visit on Earth and space-like experiences within the atmosphere, this book is packed with technical information about planetary geology and spaceflight, which Dr. Kirby breaks down into easy-to-digest morsels of scientific and engineering goodness. Like how a mother robin regurgitates her food for her babies, but less messy. Dr. Kirby combines rarely-seen photos from NASA and other space agencies along with his own photos of space-like places on Earth he has visited. His photos show what normal people like you would see if you visited and not what only fancy professionals show you! So strap in, start the countdown, and begin your vacation in space right here on Earth. You are GO for launch!
