Kiona N Smith: Peeing and Pooping in Space, Gebunden

Blurb

"The full scoop on how astronauts pee and poop. There's no time for pitstops when traveling to the moon. Space travel is a pinnacle of human ambition and a marvel of engineering. But the inventiveness didn't stop with rocket fuel and space suits. Someone had to figure out how our brave astronauts would go to the bathroom. And like any scientific endeavor, it took a lot of trial and error. As we celebrate the 55th anniversary of the first moon landing as well as the launch of Artemis II (the first crewed mission to the Moon since 1972), Peeing and Pooping in Space explores the little-seen history of the inventions and advancements that allowed astronauts to boldly go where they've never gone before. From pre-flight rituals to the first person to pee on the moon and from zero-gravity toilets to farting etiquette, everything you never imagined you'd want to know is detailed in smart, easily digestible, and humorously illustrated entries. Prepare for a bathroom odyssey you'll never forget"--
