Duncan’s Reviews > Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void > Status Update

I think a good example of the undertaking of space is for instance the fact it took over 4 years to design a flag that would fly in space.

Did you know that Japan tests their astronauts by keeping them in a confined room and making them do origami ? I thought that was interesting and very creative.

I was curious today if there is actually a point to traveling in space besides from the science i think there is a moral point to it.

I think the exploration of space is more or less really the exploration of what is possible. Governments spend billions of dollars trying to get to space but what true purpose is there to landing a man on Mars.

I am finding some really interesting things that I did not know about space travel before this book, for instance that some people in space can't stop throwing up.

This book is interesting and is really good at explaining crazy, curious things, like taking a cadaver into space to crash test things but end up playing with it.
