I never really thought about some of the details that have to be taken into consideration for space travel. Possibly we as a society are taken with Star Trek and Star Wars and don't really think about the early beginnings of space travel.
The details related in the book ranged from food development (soup wouldn't work, worrying about crumbs that might float into the mechanisms), sex for long trips (Mars and beyond, weightlessness for sex), recycling urine for water, bone and body reactions, and even Bowel movements and body odors.
The way that it was presented was informative and entertaining.
Very thought-provoking.
