During his record-breaking 340 consecutive days on board the ISS, Scott Kelly circled the earth 5,440 times, witnessing 10,944 sunrises and sunsets – that’s 16 a day. In all this time, he posted just 713 photos on Instagram.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it’s not all sunrises, sunsets and #nofilter. Through the photos Kelly took during his time in space, we can learn to see the world in a new way and we are afforded a glimpse into a life that most of us will never encounter but of which many of us dream. This book will show you what it’s really like to be a Nasa astronaut.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295067418997,"sku":"9780857524775","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780857524775_a2446055-6dcf-4f2e-94ea-13e886030f33.jpg?v=1786015943"},{"product_id":"9781784162658","title":"Endurance","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e*As featured on BBC Breakfast, Radio 5Live and Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2*\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the Nasa astronaut who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station – what it’s like out there and what it’s like now, back here.

Some intend to stay. But what happens—and will happen—to us in the extreme conditions of space? What should space tourists expect to happen to them during a journey to an orbiting space station, the Moon, or Mars? What would happen to children born on another planet? Would they evolve into a new species? In \u003ci\u003eBecoming Martian\u003c\/i\u003e, Scott Solomon explores the many ways in which humanity’s migration into space will change our bodies and our minds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book focuses on the latest science, taking readers to the front lines of research. We hear from astronauts, including Scott Kelly who writes the foreword, and we join a team of scientists guiding a rover across the surface of Mars. We visit a high-security lab where engineers are simulating space radiation to measure its effects on the body. We travel to isolated islands where field biologists are gleaning insights into evolutionary processes applicable to people isolated on faraway planets. We meet synthetic biologists developing gene-editing tools to equip future humans to thrive in alien environments. We watch a rocket designed to carry humanity to Mars make its first successful launch. And then we ask, knowing what we know: Should we go?","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56367925133685,"sku":"9780262051514","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780262051514_131af63f-11cb-4508-8c4f-cdb73e844c7f.jpg?v=1786012481"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-scott-kelly.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
