Based on the personal experiences of the highly regarded French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, this book tells the story from an astronaut's perspective, providing a detailed and comprehensive glimpse into the world of astronauts.
📚🏃🏻♂️🧗🏻♂️ How many steps are needed to become an astronaut?
In 2009, Frenchman Thomas Pesquet emerged from a field of 8,413 candidates to become the youngest candidate for the European Space Agency's astronaut program and the tenth French astronaut to carry out a space mission. After rigorous mental and psychological testing, humiliating medical examinations, a training schedule comparable to a prime minister's, and seven years of patient waiting, Thomas finally reached the International Space Station aboard a Soyuz spacecraft and returned safely to Earth after completing a six-month mission there, fulfilling his childhood dream of space travel. This book chronicles his journey from selection and training to completing his mission and returning to Earth.
🎇🚀Who is that person hiding in the space suit?
Why did Thomas want to become an astronaut? What efforts did he make to become one? How did his family feel about his missions? Was he afraid during spacewalks? Science cartoonist Marion Montaigne followed Thomas Pesquet's life, interviewing him in Moscow, Houston, Cologne, Baikonur, Normandy, and other places. She reviewed extensive text and video material, and used her drawings to reveal the glory and hardships of the astronaut profession. Through unwavering dedication, Pesquet seized every opportunity to move closer to his dream. So talented was he that, in addition to completing all his work on the space station, he found time to take tens of thousands of photos of Earth. Over 150 of these photos are included in the photo album "Earth from a Distance: My Moments from Space," showcasing unparalleled views of Earth.
🌌🖍🖌 A perfect fusion of comics and popular science. What are the major space agencies in the world? How is the weightlessness of space simulated on Earth? What hazards does a spacecraft encounter upon returning to Earth? How do astronauts use the toilet, eat, and shower in space? How many times does the space station orbit the Earth in a single day? As a renowned online blogger dedicated to popularizing scientific knowledge, cartoonist Marion Montaigne uses lighthearted humor and a touch of exaggeration to guide us into the world of science, vividly portraying the dedicated researchers behind the scenes. Stars like Captain Spock, Tom Hanks, and Matt Damon appear on screen, demonstrating various principles of space science.
