Becoming Martian
Our Future Beyond Earth

Skickas
How living in space will affect future generations—and what the potential unintended consequences of space settlements are.We are on the cusp of a golden age of space travel in which, for the first time, it will be possible for large numbers of people to venture into space. 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 Becoming Martian, Scott Solomon explores the many ways in which humanity’s migration into space will change our bodies and our minds.This 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?

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly hostile to human life: the extreme challenges of long-term spaceflight.“Kelly’s account is insightful, at times humorous, heart-tugging at others. And it’s inspiring enough to change the life of some lost kid, just like The Right Stuff did for him.” —USA Today He describes navigating long-term spaceflight—the devastating effects on the body, the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth, the pressures of constant close cohabitation, and the catastrophic risks of depressurization or colliding with space junk. But perhaps the most haunting challenge is that of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home, something Kelly knows about firsthand. Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and passion resonate throughout, as he recalls his rough-and-tumble New Jersey childhood and the youthful inspiration that sparked his astounding career. Here, in his personal story, we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the infinite wonder of the galaxy.

From the record-breaking astronaut, national hero, and best-selling author of Endurance, a breathtaking collection of photos documenting his journey on the International Space Station, the vastness of space, and the unparalleled beauty of our own home planet.One''s perspective shifts when one lives for an entire year--as Commander Scott Kelly, and no other American astronaut in history, has--in the isolating, grueling, and utterly unforgiving vacuum of space. Kelly''s photos prove that this perspective--from 250 miles above earth--while hard-won, is also almost unspeakably beautiful. He mastered the rare art of microgravity photography. Using a Nikon D4 with a long 800mm lens and a 1.4x magnifying zoom lens, he panned the camera as the shutter released in order to compensate for the space station''s velocity: 17,500 mph relative to the earth. Kelly''s artist''s eye helped make him a social media sensation, and here his photos are collected alongside his own commentary, which sets the images in their proper contexts, human and cosmic. Kelly captures sunsets, moonrises, the aurora borealis, and the luminous, hazy tapestry of the Milky Way. He presents snapshots of life and work on the International Space Station, from spacewalks to selfies. But above all--or floating amid all--he takes the earth itself as his celestial muse. Here are hurricanes, wrinkled mountains, New York City shining like a galaxy--glorious photographs that are, in themselves, a passionate argument for the preservation of our planet in the face of climate change and environmental destruction.

In all this time, he posted just 713 photos on Instagram.But 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.

Millaista on viettää vuosi avaruudessa?
Astronautti Scott Kellyn muistelmateos Kiertoradalla on kiehtova kertomus ihmisen tahdonvoimasta ja ihmeellisestä avaruudesta. Lähde mukaan ainutlaatuiselle matkalle – huomaat pian ajattelevasi omasta maailmastasi eri tavalla kuin ennen.
Kapteeni Scott Kelly teki avaruusmatkailun historiaa ja vietti vuoden kansainvälisellä avaruusasemalla. Neljän avaruuslennon veteraani ja avaruudessa oleskelun ennätysmies on kokenut asioita, joita hyvin harva meistä tulee koskaan kohtaamaan. Millaista avaruudessa oli ja millaista oli palata takaisin maan pinnalle?
Kelly kuvaa avaruuselämän jännittäviä, arkipäiväisiä ja syvällisiä puolia omalla inhimillisellä ja huumorintajuisella tyylillään. Hän kertoo avaruusmatkansa vaiheet kazakstanilaisesta avaruussatamasta kansainväliselle avaruusasemalle ISS:lle ja takaisin. Kellyn kokemuksista käy muun muassa ilmi, mitä avaruus tekee keholle, miltä tuntuu olla erossa lähimmistään, kuinka jatkuva yhteiselo pienessä tilassa kollegojen kanssa sujuu ja mitkä uhat voivat koitua miehistön jäsenten tai koko avaruusaseman kohtaloksi.
