Ad Astra: An Illustrated Guide to Leaving the Planet

Need some space? For almost all human history we`ve been firmly rooted to the Earth. And, sure, it`s got some good things going for it: nice views, friendly inhabitants, good coffee. Air. But what if you want to get off? Whether you`ve got itchy feet and need a bit of a break, or you`re looking for a complete change of scene, this book has all the information you`ll need to leave, with FREE expert advice from the men and woman who can actually make it happen. Do I need a passport? How do I know if I have the right stuff? Can I take my dog? What spacesuit do I need? Where am I going to go? What am I going to eat? As well as being a deeply impractical guide to getting off the planet, this is an eclectic and beautifully illustrated mix-tape of space travel stories – both real and imagined. From the migrating lunar geese that flew us to the moon in the 1600`s, to Elon Musk`s wild plan to get humans to Mars en masse in the future; from the history of early rocket science to the Soviet tortoises that secretly won the space race. A collection for anyone who has looked up in wonder at the stars… And then wondered how to get there.
