Book ID/图书代码： 01240006B07164
English Summary/英文概要： Since SpaceShipOne captured the coveted $10 million Ansari X Prize in October 2004, and subsequently Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Airways, set up Virgin Galactic, a company dedicated to space tourism, it has become apparent that the age of space tourism is upon us. But if most people really had any idea of the myriad dangers they would face on a journey into deep space, they might think twice. In The Hazards of Space Travel, Neil Comins presents a serious, yet fresh and a bit idiosyncratic, look at the travails one might face in space, including: radiation and projectile hazards; the physical consequences of zero gravity; medical and mental hazards; hazards from the atmospheres and surfaces of destination bodies; the consequences of equipment failure; and the profound readjustment difficulties that are possible after returning to life on Earth.
Filled with hard science and fascinating scenarios, The Hazards of Space Travel paints something of a harrowing picture of the reality of space travel, but manages to do so with an inventive and refreshingly light touch. Through passages from a fictional Captain’s spaceship log, readers follow Captain Mack Richardson on his journeys through deep space and learn "firsthand" what it takes to navigate the galaxy. Comins deftly interweaves Richardson’s entertaining and useful fictional log with hard science for an engaging, informative, fascinating read.
