I recently purchased this book and absolutely love it – I recommend it to anyone curious about what it was like to be an astronaut from Apollo to the shuttle era, plus it has recipes from astronauts in it as well (among other cool things). This is a perfect Christmas gift – or a gift anytime of the year! – to put under the tree. I (obviously) love space books and this is a great one.
