Csillagközi kérdezz-felelek - 157 észbontó tudnivaló az űrből


Gondoltál már arra, hogy űrhajós legyél? Az Apollo küldetések sikerei után napjainkban az űrkutatás új aranykorának küszöbén állunk. A következő évtizedekben minden bizonnyal gyarmatosítani fogjuk a Holdat, otthagyjuk a lábnyomunkat a Marson, és messzebbre fogunk utazni a naprendszerünkben, mint valaha. Ezek az álmok immár karnyújtásnyira vannak tőlünk, és mindannyian részesei lehetünk ennek a kivételes utazásnak. Mióta visszatértem a Nemzetközi Űrállomásról, rengeteg érdeklődő levelet kapok az emberektől, akik egyre többet szeretnének megtudni az űrbéli életről, a küldetésem minden apró részletéről. ,,Milyen érzés 28 000 km/órás sebességgel keringeni a Föld körül?" ,,Hogyan lehet felkészülni a súlytalanságra?" ,,Milyen hatással van a világűr az emberi testre?" ,,Mi történik, ha meteorit csapódik az űrállomásnak?" Ebben a könyvben részletesen megválaszolom ezeket a kérdéseket, kiegészítve őket a saját, űrhajósként szerzett tapasztalataimmal - a kiképzéstől a kilövésig, az űrsétáig és a visszatérésig. Remélem, hogy érdekesek lesznek az űrbéli élet titkai, tudománya és mindennapi csodái, és a betekintés hasznos lesz a jövő űrutazói számára. Ki tudja? Lehet, hogy az első ember, aki eljut majd a Marsra, épp ezt a könyvet lapozgatja... Tim Peake

Space


As seen in the major TV series Secrets of Our Universe with Tim Peake. Only 628 people in human history have left Earth. In Space: The Human Story, astronaut Tim Peake traces the lives of these remarkable men and women who have forged the way, from Yuri Gagarin to Neil Armstrong, from Valentina Tereshkova to Peggy Whitson. Full of exclusive new stories, and astonishing detail only an astronaut would know, the book conveys what space exploration is really like: the wondrous view of Earth, the surreal weightlessness, the extraordinary danger, the surprising humdrum, the unexpected humour, the newfound perspective, the years of training, the psychological pressures, the gruelling physical toll, the thrill of launch and the trepidation of re-entry. The book also examines the surprising, shocking and often poignant stories of astronauts back on Earth, whose lives are forever changed as they readjust to terra firma. Publication of the book comes on the eve of NASA's plans to return to the moon, fifty years after an astronaut last walked on the lunar surface. In 2024 the Artemis II mission will send four astronauts to orbit the moon. In 2025 Artemis III will send the first woman and the first person of colour to step on the lunar surface. What will separate these upcoming moonwalkers from the legendary Apollo crews? Does it still take a daring-do attitude, super-human fitness, intelligence, plus the 'Right-stuff' - a fabled grace under pressure? And how will astronauts travel even further - to Mars and beyond? Space: The Human Story reveals all.

The Astronaut Selection Test Book


*The* puzzle book of 2018, as featured in the Times, Daily Telegraph, BBC Radio 4, and BBC Breakfast, and a Guardian Book of the Year pick. Have YOU got what it takes to be an astronaut? This book will help readers of all ages find out. Featuring 100 real astronaut tests and exercises from the European Space Agency's rigorous selection process, ranging from easy to fiendishly hard, The Astronaut Selection Test Book goes where no puzzle book has gone before. Including puzzles and tests on: * visual perception and logic * mental arithmetic and concentration * psychological readiness * teamwork and leadership * survival, physical and medical skills * foreign languages (every astronaut has to know Russian!) and much more, this richly illustrated book draws on Tim Peake's first-hand experience of applying to be an astronaut in 2008, when he and five others were chosen - out of over 8,000 applications! We've all dreamed of being an astronaut, though of the estimated 100 billion people who have ever lived, only 557 people have travelled to space. But with this unprecedented look into real astronaut selection, you might just find out your dreams can become reality... _________________________ HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM SOLVER... Tim Peake and the ESA will receive no royalties from this book; instead, they will be donated to the Prince's Trust charity. _________________________ 'Engrossing... a brain buster of a book...

For anyone interested in the space race and the imminent journey to Mars, here's the perfect stocking filler.' - STARBURST 'It's a brain work-out on steroids, stuffed with authentic selection tests... Entertaining and engaging... innovative, earnest, soulful and exhilarating' - BBC SKY AT NIGHT MAGAZINE (5 STARS, Book of the Month) 'It's such a good idea... this is a very good thing for Christmas Day' - GRAHAM NORTON, BBC RADIO 2 'Everybody, get this book... it's a fascinating read' - CHRIS MOYLES, RADIO X 'A fantastic gift... more than just a quiz' - WI LIFE 'The perfect [book] for big thinkers' - BBC ARTS, 2018's Biggest Books

Limitless: The Autobiography


'What surprised me was how entirely serene I felt. I was weightless, no forces exerting themselves on my body. To my left was the Space Station. Below me, gradually going into shadow, was the Earth. And over my right shoulder was the universe.' In fascinating and personal detail, and drawing on exclusive diaries and audio recordings from his mission, astronaut Tim Peake takes readers closer than ever before to experience what life in space is really like: the sights, the smells, the fear, the sacrifice, the exhilaration and the deep and abiding wonder of the view. Warm, inspiring and often funny, Tim also charts his surprising road to becoming an astronaut, from a shy and unassuming boy from Chichester who had a passion for flight, to a young British Army officer, Apache helicopter pilot, flight instructor and test pilot who served around the world. Tim's extensive eighteen-year career in the Army included the command of a platoon of soldiers in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, deployment in Bosnia, and operations in Afghanistan. Full of life lessons for readers of all ages, Limitless is the story of how ordinary can become extraordinary.
