Diary of a Cosmonaut: 211 Days in Space

Highly recommend this great book! Thanks a lot! It is still the only one frank and unique complete sorry written aboard the space station by a Russian cosmonaut Valentine Lebedev. If every astronaut would report the same way like Lebedev did in his space diary some 27 years ago, our world expenses for piloted space programs will start being justified.

Fantastic and epic personal voyage

This is a fascinating and "from the hip" book about what its like to be in a flying tin can for more than half a year. The author gives candid, personal "real-life" views directly from his diary in this very profound book. Within 30 years, humans will be soaring to Mars...from this cosmonaut's frankness we will learn much about the psychology of detachment and coping, leading the way to a better and brighter future for all humankind in space. Highly recommended reading to anyone and everyone!
