We are the first species with the ability to leave planet Earth and
expand the horizons of existence into the infinite realm of the
universe. Humanity has been working, learning and building toward
this accomplishment throughout history. Those who live and work in
space will be no different from their predecessors who left ancient
homelands to venture into the unknown wilderness. But to travel and
work in space, one must not only know the physical characteristics
of the space environment, but also something about the human beings
involved. Living in Space explains: -Technology necessary for
staying happy, healthy and alive in space. - Effects of
acceleration on the human body - The long term affects of living in
zero-g conditions - The most harmful forms of ionizing radiation
for humans - Nutrition and Sanitation - Basic problems of working
in space. The people who go into space to live and work are setting
the foundation for humanity s future."
