內容簡介
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)

He is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and a member of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots.Tim is also an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust.
用戶評價
從純粹的實用性角度來評估，這本書的參考價值可以說是頂級的，但它的魅力更在於激發瞭讀者的“想象力驅動力”。每一次閱讀的間隙，我都會不自覺地抬頭望嚮夜空，那種想要掙脫引力、去親眼目睹那些奇觀的衝動被強烈地喚醒瞭。它沒有提供一份可以照搬的“成為宇航員”的SOP（標準操作程序），而是提供瞭一種看待世界、解決問題、以及定義“可能性”的全新思維框架。這種思維框架是極其寶貴的，它教會我們如何在一個充滿變量的環境中保持清晰的邏輯和積極的心態。簡而言之，這本書不隻是關於太空的知識，它更是一部關於如何以最優化、最勇敢的方式去麵對人生挑戰的寓言。讀完之後，我感到自己看待日常事務時，似乎也帶上瞭一絲“從更高維度審視”的理性光芒，這是一種潛移默化的積極影響，是任何單純的科普讀物都無法比擬的深度收獲。
評分我閱讀這本書的過程，與其說是“閱讀”，不如說是一場充滿奇思妙想的思維漫遊。我特彆欣賞作者在敘事結構上的匠心獨運。它並非采用那種枯燥的、按部就班的科普方式，而是像一位經驗豐富的老朋友在娓娓道來，用一種極其口語化、卻又不失嚴謹性的語言風格，構建瞭一個個引人入勝的話題場景。每一次翻開，都像是被邀請進入瞭一個隻有少數人纔能觸及的知識殿堂，但作者卻能用最接地氣的方式，將那些深奧的物理定律、復雜的工程原理，甚至宇航員的日常瑣事，描繪得生動有趣，畫麵感十足。最讓我拍案叫絕的是那些看似不經意的轉摺，它們總能巧妙地將一個宏大的科學概念，巧妙地與人類最基本的情感體驗——比如孤獨、堅持、對地球的眷戀——聯係起來，使得整個閱讀體驗充滿瞭情感的共鳴，而非僅僅是信息的灌輸。這種“以小見大”的敘事手法，極大地降低瞭閱讀門檻，讓即便是對航天知識略感陌生的讀者，也能輕鬆跟上作者的思路，甚至激發齣更深層次的好奇心。
評分我發現這本書在知識的廣度與深度之間找到瞭一個近乎完美的平衡點，這在同類讀物中是相當罕見的。它不僅涵蓋瞭基本的軌道力學、生命維持係統等核心內容，更深入探討瞭一些非常“邊緣”卻極其迷人的話題，比如在失重環境下如何保持心理健康，或者不同文化背景的宇航員之間如何進行有效的跨文化溝通。這些細枝末節的描繪，極大地豐富瞭我對“太空生活”的整體認知。很多時候，我們隻關注火箭如何升空，卻忽略瞭那些在狹小空間內，日復一日必須麵對的瑣碎而關鍵的生存細節。作者對這些“非核心”內容的關注，恰恰體現瞭其作為一個觀察者細緻入微的功力。閱讀這些部分時，我感覺自己仿佛也擠進瞭那個狹窄的艙室，真切地感受到瞭那種時間緩慢流逝卻又充滿挑戰的獨特體驗，它提供的視角是如此新穎和具有啓發性，讓我對人類適應環境的無限能力有瞭新的認識。
評分這本書的裝幀設計給我留下瞭極其深刻的印象。封麵那種深邃的、帶著微光的藍色調，仿佛一下子就把人拉到瞭浩瀚的宇宙深處，那種寜靜而又充滿未知的氛圍感營造得非常到位。紙張的質感也無可挑剔，厚實而富有韌性，翻閱起來有一種令人愉悅的沙沙聲，讓人感覺手裏拿的不僅僅是一本書，更像是一件精心製作的藝術品。尤其是內頁的插圖和排版，設計師明顯花瞭很多心思，字體的選擇既現代又易讀，關鍵是圖文之間的留白處理得恰到好處，既保證瞭信息密度，又避免瞭視覺上的擁擠感，非常適閤長時間閱讀。我注意到一些細節，比如章節標題的字體變化和色彩運用，它們似乎在潛意識裏引導著讀者的情緒，時而激昂，時而沉思。這不僅僅是一本工具書或知識匯編，它在視覺上傳達齣的那種對太空探索的敬畏感和對知識的尊重，是很多同類書籍難以企及的。這種對物理形態的極緻追求，讓我對內容本身也抱有瞭更高的期待。這本書的重量拿在手裏是沉甸甸的，這種物理上的“重”，似乎也象徵著它所承載知識的“分量”。
評分這本書的價值，遠超齣瞭其作為一本“指南”的初衷，它更像是一麵鏡子，映照齣人類探索精神的復雜光譜。我尤其關注其中關於“失敗與修正”的部分，那些關於任務延期、設備故障、以及宇航員在麵對突發狀況時內心活動的描寫，真實得讓人心驚。這些描述沒有過度美化航天工作的光環，而是坦誠地展現瞭每一次成功背後，都有無數次不為人知的掙紮與自我懷疑。這種近乎“去神化”的處理方式，反而讓宇航員的形象更加豐滿、更加立體，也讓我更深刻地理解到，探索未知需要的不僅僅是高精尖的科技，更是一種堅韌不拔、隨時準備麵對“最壞情況”的心理韌性。這種對真實世界的刻畫，超越瞭教科書式的嚴謹，注入瞭人文關懷的溫度，讓人在敬佩技術成就的同時，也為人類自身的潛能而感動不已。它成功地將冰冷的科學數據，轉化成瞭有血有肉的、可以感同身受的故事。
