About the book: 2021 / Tim Peake enjoys marathon running, mountaineering and skiing, raises his son and goes on speleological trips in West Sussex . Tim also qualified for the European Space Agency (EKA) program. More than 8,000 participants applied for six places to fly into outer space... And today Tim Peake is the only astronaut in the whole of Great Britain. On December 15, 2015 at 14:03, Tim Peak, as the second on-board engineer, set off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to the ISS to spend 186 days in orbit and learn everything about how to live and survive in space. How Tim felt, rotating around the Earth faster, than an accelerating bullet? What is it like to eat, sleep and generally live in space? What to do when there is nothing to do? How are things going in modern space? Returning home, Tim decided to share everything he had experienced with earthlings. The hashtag #askanastronaut was launched on social networks, with the help of which questions were selected for Tim. An interview with all of humanity, carried out using social networks, became this book. It seems to reveal all the features of life in orbit - from preparation to launch, from takeoff to the first spacewalk, from the intricacies of modern orbital exploration to the details of an astronaut’s diet and everyday life on board the International Space Station. “Ask an Astronaut” - an in-depth and comprehensive guide to life in space, written by a good-natured, open-minded and very simple person. This guide contains many previously unpublished photographs, a heap of explanatory diagrams and illustrations, humor and love for one’s work, and they make this book an extremely interesting and very personal story about life in space. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
