Description:
|
In this book, David Shayler explores the development of space walking techniques and support hardware. The author draws upon original documentation, personal interviews and official post flight reports revealing the very personal experience of exploring space and the development of training techniques devised in the gravity environment of Earth for work in the vacuum of space, on the moon and eventually on Mars.
