Was it fun to do a space walk? How squashed were you in the capsule on the way back? What were your feelings as you looked down on Earth for the first time? Were you ever scared? Where to next -- the Moon, Mars, or beyond?

Based on his historic mission to the International Space Station, Ask an Astronaut is Tim Peake's guide to life in space, and his answers to the thousands of questions he has been asked since his return to Earth. With explanations ranging from the mundane -- how do you wash your clothes or go to the bathroom while in orbit? -- to the profound -- what's the point? -- all written in Tim's characteristically warm style, Tim shares his thoughts on every aspect of space exploration.

From training for the mission to launch, to his historic spacewalk, to re-entry, he reveals for readers of all ages the cutting-edge science behind his groundbreaking experiments, and the wonders of daily life on board the International Space Station. The public was invited to submit questions using the hashtag #askanastronaut, and a selection are answered by Tim in the book, accompanied with illustrations, diagrams, and never-before-seen photos.

I found this book to be fascinating. If you're in the mood to learn lots of trivia and get a good dose of elementary-science, this is a quick and enjoyable read. Narration was great as well.

Interesting read!

Most of this required small bites, but it was very enjoyable. My grandson and I enjoyed it, and he had his horizons widened considerably.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Tim Peake’s Q&A about his life as an astronaut is full of fun facts that I would have never thought about. On top of being full of acts, this book is packed with both first and second hand stories only people who have stayed in space could tell. If you want space entertainment at the highest level then read this book.

What a fun way to learn about space

A collection of random facts and stories organized well and still manages to entertain. The author did an excellent job detailing his exploits in space in a fun educational way an it would interesting to see all astronauts do a similar style book.

Good Book
