Download or read book The Traveler s Guide to Space written by Neil F. Comins and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever wondered about space travel, now you have the opportunity to understand it more fully than ever before. Traveling into space and even emigrating to nearby worlds may soon become part of the human experience. Scientists, engineers, and investors are working hard to make space tourism and colonization a reality. As astronauts can attest, extraterrestrial travel is incomparably thrilling. To make the most of the experience requires serious physical and mental adaptations in virtually every aspect of life, from eating to intimacy. Everyone who goes into space sees Earth and life on it from a profoundly different perspective than they had before liftoff. Astronomer and former NASA/ASEE scientist Neil F. Comins has written the go-to book for anyone interested in space exploration. He describes the wonders that travelers will encounter—weightlessness, unparalleled views of Earth and the cosmos, and the opportunity to walk on another world—as well as the dangers: radiation, projectiles, unbreathable atmospheres, and potential equipment failures. He also provides insights into specific trips to destinations including suborbital flights, space stations, the Moon, asteroids, comets, and Mars—the top candidate for colonization. Although many challenges are technical, Comins outlines them in clear language for all readers. He synthesizes key issues and cutting-edge research in astronomy, physics, biology, psychology, and sociology to create a complete manual for the ultimate voyage.
Download or read book Travels in Space written by E. Seton Valentine and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Space: A History of Aerial Navigation There have been numerous books and treatises on Aerostation, Aeronautics, Aviation and even Aerodromics, but it is the lack of a single one which would present to the ordinary reader, as well as to him technically interested in the subject, a brief but adequate narrative of all the achievements and inventions in this fascinating department of modern science, as well as of the aeronauts and inventors who have thereby distinguished themselves, which has led to the preparation of this volume. It may perhaps be held that a fitter title for the work would be Aerial Locomotion, in that it is largely concerned with a multitude of haphazard journeys into space whose destination no man could foresee. On the other hand, the authors may urge that an even greater portion of the book is taken up with accounts of the steady - and often brilliant - efforts of mankind towards a single goal, so that in recounting the hundred and one attempts, in which are involved courage, ingenuit and perseverance, much sacrifice of human life, with not a little humour and pathos added, we have before us in these pages the almost complete drama, as far as it has progressed, of Aerial Navigation. The illustrations, which form a prominent feature, covering a wide stretch of time, from the devices of Leonardo da Vinci to those of Professor Langley and M. Santos-Dumont, tell one part of this story clearly, and almost of themselves render the letterpress superfluous.
