| Description: |
"An unvarnished account of his near-disastrous stay, in 1997, on Russia's creaky space station... an engrossing report that NASA's publicity machine will bemoan."
Booklist "[Linenger's] frank, personable prose shows readers what it's like to be an astronaut -or at least to be this particular astronaut, trying, along with his Russian companions, to live and work with good humor on an 11-year-old, half-broken, famously flammable space station as its air fills with antifreeze that is leaking out of shoddy cooling lines." Publishers Weekly "NASA astronaut Linenger spent five months aboard the Russian space station Mir, a spacecraft operating far beyond its design life. His personal account vividly captures the challenges and privation he endured both before and during his flight." Library Journal |
