Sergey Ryazansky: Can You Hammer a Nail in Space and Other Questions About Cosmonautics (2nd Edition)
Curious about life beyond Earth? This book, written by Sergey Ryazansky—a cosmonaut, Hero of Russia, and the first scientist to command a spacecraft crew during a 2017 mission—answers the most popular questions about space exploration. With over 300 days spent in orbit and four spacewalks, Ryazansky knows the cosmos firsthand.
Inside, you’ll find clear, engaging responses to queries like: Is it hard to be a cosmonaut? Why isn’t the Earth flat? Why doesn’t the ISS fall? What do cosmonauts bring to the station? What commonly breaks on board? What happens if a spacesuit depressurizes? And what do cosmonauts do after returning to Earth?
As popularizer of cosmonautics and blogger Zelenyikot notes: “Social media communication is a complex task that a cosmonaut had to master alongside science and technology. During his space flights, questions poured in from the internet. He had to answer them directly from orbit, and now they’re collected under one cover.”
This second edition offers a revised collection of insights, blending firsthand experience with accessible explanations. Perfect for space enthusiasts, students, or anyone fascinated by the realities of human spaceflight. Price: 943.00 RUB.
