Now is the time to fly to space! New technological developments, commercialisation of spaceflight and advances in space medicine have made human space travel more attainable than ever before. This entertaining but nevertheless authoritative book gives a practical introduction to space travel from a number of viewpoints: How spacecraft are built, how to steer and navigate them, instructions for a comfortable everyday life in space and a guide to remain healthy and strong in weightlessness.
" Highly recommended for everyone who wants to fly to space and all passengers of our mothership Earth!" Hans Schlegel, ESA Astronaut
"This book is intended as a general introduction to space travel for anyone contemplating such an adventure. Each chapter provides a general summary of the main topics that any non-professional astronaut might want to learn more about. . this is a well-written, useful - and sometimes light-hearted - introduction for anyone who wants to know more about humanity's efforts to leave planet Earth." (Peter Bond, The Observatory, Vol. 141 (1284), October, 2021)
"Their book is presented in a breezy, refreshing style, and is an acceptable read even for knowledgeable people. . The book also has some interesting anecdotes." (John Silvester, Spaceflight, Vol. 63, August, 2021)
"If you have a question about going into space, and surviving once you're there, then this book needs to be on your shelf as soon as possible." (Stuart Atkinson, Popular Astronomy, popastro.com, July-August 2021)
"I can't remember when a book exceeded my expectations quite as much as this one did. . the book has an affordable, far from academic-level price tag - so it's highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the finer points of human spaceflight." (Popular Science, popsciencebooks.blogspot.com, May 5, 2021)

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
