Timed for the 55th anniversary of the first moon landing, as well as NASA's first manned moon mission in 50 years, this out-of-this-world humour book explores the history and technology of how astronauts go to the bathroom.
There Are No Bathroom Stops on the Way to the Moon
Space travel is a pinnacle of human ambition and a marvel of engineering. But someone had to figure out how our brave astronauts would go to the bathroom. And like any scientific endeavour, it took a lot of trial and error.
Explore 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 zero-gravity toilets to farting etiquette, Peeing and Pooping in Space shares everything you never imagined you'd want to know detailed in smart, easily digestible, and humorously illustrated entries.
