Packing for Mars

Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void

Mary Roach, 2010


This is the second of Mary Roach's books that I've read, and while I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (but to be fair, I absolutely LOVED Stiff), I found this book really interesting and entertaining. For anyone who has ever been remotely interested in how space travel works, this is a pretty cool read. I love how Roach infuses the real humor into the facts. I'm glad I finally got around to reading this one. 

Roach is one of my favorite science writers, and I can't wait to read more of her books.
