What do you really know about life in space? Forget the Hollywood versions—this book takes you behind the helmet to reveal the hilariously strange, surprisingly gross, and brilliantly engineered ways astronauts survive in zero gravity.

From "condom-like" urine devices to why burping in space is a dangerous gamble, this eBook uncovers the untold side of space travel—the one filled with flaming bubbles, floating sweat, and toilets powered by suction and science.

You'll explore:

  • What astronauts wear under their suits (yes, it's weirder than you think)
  • How digestion, hygiene, and even flatulence behave in microgravity
  • Wild experiments involving mice, wasps, and space-grown lettuce
  • NASA's weirdest inventions and how they ended up in your home
  • The future of space hygiene on missions to Mars and beyond
  • Equal parts educational and entertaining, this is the ultimate crash course in the biology of space travel—where every bodily function becomes a mission-critical operation.
