The Space Tourist's Handbook by Eric Anderson and Joshua Piven

By Justin Mullins

20 December 2005

THESE days a mere $20 million will buy you a seat on a spacecraft bound for the International Space Station. And cheaper sub-orbital flights may be on offer soon. Would-be travellers will welcome a manual designed to guide them through the tricky process of training for the journey. The Space Tourist’s Handbook covers everything you’ll need from how to escape from an out-of-control aircraft to the basics of space-walking. No self-respecting space tourist should leave home without it.
