Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When disasters strike ships in space, only three ships stand ready to answer the call in in our solar system. On board Space Rescue One are two dedicated teams willing to put their lives on the line to save the lives of others. However, Rescue Team One has a problem in the person of Richard Saber, whose anti-social behavior and drinking threatens to disrupt the team and possibly put their lives needlessly at risk. Treating Richard as another victim crying to be saved, his team buddies pull together to break through his walls of isolation in discovering the reason while the universe around them disintegrates into civil war when the colonies on Mars and Venus declare their independence. There's seems to be no possible way for three ships to rescue so many, but unknown to everyone Richard holds the key to ending the war. Even so, disaster still strikes out at the team in a form that will etch itself into space history! Boson Books also offers The Rust Bucket Universe series by Atk. Butterfly.

Download or read book At Home in Space written by Ben Evans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, like the others, not only focuses upon the individual missions within the decade but also upon key challenges facing human space exploration at specific points within those years - from the problems of simply breathing and eating in space to the challenges of venturing outside in a pressurized spacesuit, the development of newer and better space toilets, and the difficulties of locomotion on the Moon. The Eighties was a time when traveling into space far more commonplace. Examining in detail the American and Soviet fronts, Ben Evans gives a comprehensive analysis of the varying fortunes of the U.S. space shuttle in the Eighties, including its early test flights and commercial flights, its problems, the 51L tragedy and its aftermath, and the resumption of operations with STS-26. The U.S. story ends with STS-37 in April 1991. In the Soviet sphere, two pivotal space station efforts - Salyut 7 and its succesor, Mir - are considered, showing how they were alike and different.
