内容简介
The new book from astronaut Tim Peake, the number one bestselling author of Hello, is this planet Earth?
How does it feel to orbit the earth ten times faster than a speeding bullet?
What’s it like to eat, sleep and go to the toilet in space?
And where to next – the Moon, Mars or beyond?
Ask an Astronaut is Tim’s personal guide to life in space, based on his historic Principia mission, and the thousands of questions he has been asked since his return to Earth.
Accessible, in-depth, and written with his characteristic warmth, Tim shares his thoughts on every aspect of his mission. From training to launch, from his historic spacewalk to re-entry, he reveals for readers of all ages the cutting-edge science behind his ground-breaking experiments, and the wonders of day-to-day life on board the International Space Station.
The public is invited to submit new questions using the hashtag #askanastronaut, and a selection will be answered by Tim in the book, which will be accompanied with illustrations, diagrams and never-before-seen photos.
Tim is pleased to announce that, as with his previous book, royalties received from the book will be donated to The Prince’s Trust.
Review
"Everything you ever wanted to know about life in space" (Times)
"A delightful adventure of understanding how and why humans journey into space… a beautiful view of our desire to go beyond our terrestrial gravity. I feel more ready to go into space than I have ever done, though I'm not quite sure I'll get through the training process..." (Robin Ince The Infinite Monkey Cage)

用户评价
我阅读这本书的过程，与其说是“阅读”，不如说是一场充满奇思妙想的思维漫游。我特别欣赏作者在叙事结构上的匠心独运。它并非采用那种枯燥的、按部就班的科普方式，而是像一位经验丰富的老朋友在娓娓道来，用一种极其口语化、却又不失严谨性的语言风格，构建了一个个引人入胜的话题场景。每一次翻开，都像是被邀请进入了一个只有少数人才能触及的知识殿堂，但作者却能用最接地气的方式，将那些深奥的物理定律、复杂的工程原理，甚至宇航员的日常琐事，描绘得生动有趣，画面感十足。最让我拍案叫绝的是那些看似不经意的转折，它们总能巧妙地将一个宏大的科学概念，巧妙地与人类最基本的情感体验——比如孤独、坚持、对地球的眷恋——联系起来，使得整个阅读体验充满了情感的共鸣，而非仅仅是信息的灌输。这种“以小见大”的叙事手法，极大地降低了阅读门槛，让即便是对航天知识略感陌生的读者，也能轻松跟上作者的思路，甚至激发出更深层次的好奇心。
评分这本书的价值，远超出了其作为一本“指南”的初衷，它更像是一面镜子，映照出人类探索精神的复杂光谱。我尤其关注其中关于“失败与修正”的部分，那些关于任务延期、设备故障、以及宇航员在面对突发状况时内心活动的描写，真实得让人心惊。这些描述没有过度美化航天工作的光环，而是坦诚地展现了每一次成功背后，都有无数次不为人知的挣扎与自我怀疑。这种近乎“去神化”的处理方式，反而让宇航员的形象更加丰满、更加立体，也让我更深刻地理解到，探索未知需要的不仅仅是高精尖的科技，更是一种坚韧不拔、随时准备面对“最坏情况”的心理韧性。这种对真实世界的刻画，超越了教科书式的严谨，注入了人文关怀的温度，让人在敬佩技术成就的同时，也为人类自身的潜能而感动不已。它成功地将冰冷的科学数据，转化成了有血有肉的、可以感同身受的故事。
评分这本书的装帧设计给我留下了极其深刻的印象。封面那种深邃的、带着微光的蓝色调，仿佛一下子就把人拉到了浩瀚的宇宙深处，那种宁静而又充满未知的氛围感营造得非常到位。纸张的质感也无可挑剔，厚实而富有韧性，翻阅起来有一种令人愉悦的沙沙声，让人感觉手里拿的不仅仅是一本书，更像是一件精心制作的艺术品。尤其是内页的插图和排版，设计师明显花了很多心思，字体的选择既现代又易读，关键是图文之间的留白处理得恰到好处，既保证了信息密度，又避免了视觉上的拥挤感，非常适合长时间阅读。我注意到一些细节，比如章节标题的字体变化和色彩运用，它们似乎在潜意识里引导着读者的情绪，时而激昂，时而沉思。这不仅仅是一本工具书或知识汇编，它在视觉上传达出的那种对太空探索的敬畏感和对知识的尊重，是很多同类书籍难以企及的。这种对物理形态的极致追求，让我对内容本身也抱有了更高的期待。这本书的重量拿在手里是沉甸甸的，这种物理上的“重”，似乎也象征着它所承载知识的“分量”。
评分我发现这本书在知识的广度与深度之间找到了一个近乎完美的平衡点，这在同类读物中是相当罕见的。它不仅涵盖了基本的轨道力学、生命维持系统等核心内容，更深入探讨了一些非常“边缘”却极其迷人的话题，比如在失重环境下如何保持心理健康，或者不同文化背景的宇航员之间如何进行有效的跨文化沟通。这些细枝末节的描绘，极大地丰富了我对“太空生活”的整体认知。很多时候，我们只关注火箭如何升空，却忽略了那些在狭小空间内，日复一日必须面对的琐碎而关键的生存细节。作者对这些“非核心”内容的关注，恰恰体现了其作为一个观察者细致入微的功力。阅读这些部分时，我感觉自己仿佛也挤进了那个狭窄的舱室，真切地感受到了那种时间缓慢流逝却又充满挑战的独特体验，它提供的视角是如此新颖和具有启发性，让我对人类适应环境的无限能力有了新的认识。
评分从纯粹的实用性角度来评估，这本书的参考价值可以说是顶级的，但它的魅力更在于激发了读者的“想象力驱动力”。每一次阅读的间隙，我都会不自觉地抬头望向夜空，那种想要挣脱引力、去亲眼目睹那些奇观的冲动被强烈地唤醒了。它没有提供一份可以照搬的“成为宇航员”的SOP（标准操作程序），而是提供了一种看待世界、解决问题、以及定义“可能性”的全新思维框架。这种思维框架是极其宝贵的，它教会我们如何在一个充满变量的环境中保持清晰的逻辑和积极的心态。简而言之，这本书不只是关于太空的知识，它更是一部关于如何以最优化、最勇敢的方式去面对人生挑战的寓言。读完之后，我感到自己看待日常事务时，似乎也带上了一丝“从更高维度审视”的理性光芒，这是一种潜移默化的积极影响，是任何单纯的科普读物都无法比拟的深度收获。
