4-0 out of 5 stars An Enthusiastic Astronaut
This is the story of Michael Foale's stay aboard Mir, as related by his father Colin. It would be hard to find a more enthusiastic and joyful astronaut than Michael, even though his life had been touched by tragedy he seems to have enjoyed every moment of what was an eventful and dangerous mission aboard Mir. Fire, collision, computer failure - the spacecraft was a basket case, but Michael was unfailingly cheerful as he helped patch it up as well as keep in contact with a multitude of correspondents by e-mail.5-0 out of 5 stars Something special that makes me continue dreaming.
As a Brit, and having followed Mike Foales exploits at NASA this book just adds to the hope that some things really are possible, no matter how hard they may seem. But the beauty of it is simply that through this book, heseems just a normal guy, just like any of us. It doesn't swamp you with thescience, but shows the human side to the challenges we face, and makes yousmile through little things like him reminding his wife to pay the billswhilst he's on the Mir and promising to put the rubbish out again once he'sback.4-0 out of 5 stars A Family View of Orbit
One wife of an Apollo Astronaut once said, "If you think it's hard being an astronaut, you should be his wife." In this book the viewpoint of Colin Foal, a RAF pilot with a distinguished career in his ownright, shows the view of the Foale Clan here in the US and England whlieson and NASA Astronaut Michael Foal spends 4 months on the Mir SpaceStation.During his stay, astronaut Foale contends with an onboardcollision, power failures and the workings of Mir, built for 5 years inspace and still going on.On earth the Foale family contends with themedia quick to point out the problems of the weary station withoutrecognizing the achievements made by Foale and his Russian crewmates. A great read to gain insight into living on theMir and how the family athome copes with the perils of spaceflight. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars 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 inthis very profound book.Within 30 years, humans will be soaring toMars...from this cosmonaut's frankness we will learn much about thepsychology of detachment and coping, leading the way to a better andbrighter future for all humankind in space.Highly recommended reading toanyone and everyone!

1-0 out of 5 stars A tedious and painfully boring depection of life in space.
This book provides an honest and in depth look into the montony and uselessness of space flight.Written by Russian cosmonaut Valentin Lebedev, the book is comprised of labored and slow moving text which oftenconfuses and loses the reader.Laiden with many pages of technical jargonand unrelated facts, Lebedev's work is most uninteresting and proves to bea tiresome and tedious novel. Written in the format of a diary, thebook does contain many personal and candid passages about Lebedev'sexperience in space; however, Lebedev's openess only serves to show thefrivolessness of his long stint aboard the Solyut space station. Inthe end, the book's most exciting text proves to be Lebedev's diparturefrom space.The book portrays the wastefulness and uselessness ofmaintaining a space program of any sort and I would not reccomend readingits pages to my worst enemy. ...
