Summary
Based on his mission to the International Space Station, this is Tim Peake's guide to life in space, and his answers to questions he has been asked since his return to Earth. With explanations ranging from the mundane - how do you wash your clothes or go to the bathroom while in orbit? - to the profound - what's the point? - Tim shares his thoughts on every aspect of space exploration. From training for the mission to launch, to his spacewalk, to re-entry, he reveals the cutting-edge science behind his experiments, and the wonders of daily life on board the International Space Station. Tim Peake is a European Space Agency astronaut. He finished his 186 day mission on the International Space Station in June 2017. Born in Chichester, West Sussex, Tim is a British Army Air Corps officer and has logged more than 3,000 flight hours on over 30 different types of aircraft.
