Overview:
Three extraordinary journeys through space and life, all in one premium set. Ask an Astronaut invites readers to step inside Tim Peake's spaceflight world, based on his Principia mission and the thousands of questions he's answered since returning to Earth.

Peake blends curiosity with clear explanations, revealing the extraordinary secrets, cutting-edge science, and everyday wonders of life aboard. An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, by Chris Hadfield, follows him back on Earth after three spaceflights, delivering a captivating memoir of a life spent training to reach space and then living there. Hadfield has spent decades preparing as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space, with remarkable stories—from spacewalks to a famous YouTube moment with Space Oddity.
