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

Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void - Mary Roach A fun and lighthearted look at some of the history of the engineering around keeping mammals alive in space. While the author's interjections of her own observations of the engineers and technology are insightful and funny, it felt like they were used as filler to make up for a gap in either knowledge or understanding of the complexities of the problems and solutions. An easy, quick read but not especially illuminating.
