  <default_description>In May 2001, billionaire Dennis Tito made history as the first &quot;space tourist&quot; he's the guy who paid $20 million to travel to the International Space Station. Since that landmark voyage, many others have followed in his footsteps all courtesy of Space Adventures, the first travel agency devoted exclusively to outer space. &lt;p&gt;But before you can blast off, there's plenty to learn. In this illustrated handbook, Space Adventures CEO Eric Anderson gives would-be space tourists the exact same training program that he gives to the billionaires. Here are step-by-step instructions for liftoff, sleeping in weightless environments, using the &quot;vacuum toilet&quot; on the spacecraft, living in zero gravity, and much more. It's all so informative, the instructors at Space Adventures are already integrating this handbook into their lesson plans. &lt;p&gt;With more than 25 illustrations (and a special full-color section showing popular vacation &quot;destinations&quot;), &lt;i&gt;The Space Tourist's Handbook&lt;/i&gt; is fascinating reading for amateur astronauts of all ages.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This really is a how-to book for people interested in space travel as it becomes more commercially available.  I read it for my local All Pikes Peak Reads program, not because I intend to travel in space other than riding along with earth, firmly attached by gravity.  No how, no way.  <br/><br/>Th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71048612">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It has been one of my secret goals to someday travel into space, well ALMOST--up to 62 miles.  At 62 miles one can see the curvature of the earth's surface, the moon surface, etc.  So my husband got me this book.  I loved exploring what it would take to actually get into space.
