But given that life on Earth can be complicated enough, how can we survive and thrive in the zero-gravity, absolute-zero far reaches of space? Look no further: How to Live in Space is chock-full of all the essential information you need to equip yourself for life beyond our blue planet. Grounded in space science, planetary biology, and rocket science, this accessible guide propels readers through takeoff, life in orbit, terraforming, and the long-term effects of space on the human body. Infographics and full-color illustrations help How to Live in Space to answer your burning questions, including: How do you sleep in microgravity? How do you grow food without water? Will your muscles waste away out there? How do you protect yourself from radiation? This is a light-hearted yet informative guide to a life far from terra firma. Review: Sneaky Read ( The more you read and think - the more you find) - Originally borrowed from library Kept reading it and finding new details Bought it to keep track of research notes Kudos to deliverer - Delivered despite a raging thunderstorm Review: Wonderful Photographs, Interesting Stories About Life in a New Environment - Space is no longer the final frontier, it's where men and women are living now. In How to Live in Space, Colin Stuart, a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, explains what is required to keep human beings alive in space. In around forty short chapters with accompanying photographs (many taken from space) the author explains how spiders spin webs in zero-G, how astronauts exercise in space, how they sleep, and how they keep their spacecraft clean. We learn how the physics of flame and smoke in in a weightless environment makes a fire in space so dangerous. My favorite photograph from the book is astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson looking pensively down at Earth through windows from the International Space Station. During the Cold War and so-called Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union there was no formal cooperation between the superpowers. But now Russians train and launch Western astronauts on Soyuz rockets from Baikonur. and the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne selects and trains European crew members for space missions. How to Live in Space tells the stories of early space pioneers, like Robert Goddard and Werner von Braun. There are several interesting articles on what it would take to reach Mars, what hazards have to be overcome, and what life on a terraformed Red Planet might be like. If you or someone you know is interested in any aspect of outer space, get Colin Stuart's How to Live in Space. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,812,436 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #241 in Mars #871 in Astronautics & Space Flight #2,024 in Aeronautics & Astronautics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 13 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Live in Space: Everything You Need to Know for the Not-So-Distant Future - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91DOIJB-49L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sneaky Read ( The more you read and think - the more you find) *by C***S on June 29, 2020* Originally borrowed from library Kept reading it and finding new details Bought it to keep track of research notes Kudos to deliverer - Delivered despite a raging thunderstorm ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Photographs, Interesting Stories About Life in a New Environment *by T***F on July 16, 2018* Space is no longer the final frontier, it's where men and women are living now.

My husband recently became a little bit of a space nut, and whenever he has some spare time he listens to space podcasts, and watched rocket launches and YouTube videos discussing the science behind it all. It's certainly not a formal education, by any means, but through casual social media he's learned a decent amount of information with fairly little time investment. And because of that, nothing in this book was new to him- it was a nice way to have all the information together, and he enjoys flipping through the book, but it would have been a little better if the book included some "fresh" perspective on things that can't be found simply by doing a search on 'space' and taking a look at what comes up. I think this would make a thoughtful gift for someone interested in space, or a perfect read for someone who *just* began a bit of a space-addiction and hasn't checked out all the information available online. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/69417050-how-to-live-in-space-everything-you-need-to-know](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/69417050-how-to-live-in-space-everything-you-need-to-know) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
