Title: Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void

Author: Mary Roach

Publisher: W.W. Norton 2010

Genre: Nonfiction - Science

Pages: 334

Rating: 4/5 stars

Reading Challenges: Library

The best-selling author of Stiff and Bonk explores the irresistibly strange universe of space travel and life without gravity. From the Space Shuttle training toilet to a crash test of NASA’s new space capsule, Mary Roach takes us on the surreally entertaining trip into the science of life in space and space on Earth.

How have I never actually read this one? I love Mary Roach’s books and her wit. This is a great collection of topics relating to our desire to conquer space. I especially loved the chapters detailing the early attempts to get to the moon. Roach writes with such wit while conveying tons of factual content. I really enjoyed this book a lot. I don’t think it’s quite as good as Spook but it may be my second favorite of her books.
