![]() ![]() She’s not even really interested in what’s out there. Roach is not out to write a history of the space race, or a philosophical disquisition on off-world exploration. If all those questions seem a little earthbound, that’s the point. The book answers the questions the world’s four-year-olds have about space flight - what do astronauts eat? how do astronauts pee? - and some that they probably haven’t thought of yet: Can you get it on in zero gravity? How exactly do you die if your spacecraft breaks up at thirty-four hundred miles an hour? Does orbit make a man’s penis look bigger? What’s it like to view your own anus through a closed-circuit toilet-cam? (Actually, they may have thought of that last one, but unlike NASA, they don’t have the technology to answer it.) LIKE HER PREVIOUS BOOKS exploring cadavers, coitus, and the afterlife, Mary Roach’s Packing for Mars offers lots of taboo-busting fun, this time on the subject of space travel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Will they make it?įrom the author of blockbusters Five Point Someone, One Night the Call Center and The 3 Mistakes of My Life, comes another witty tale about inter-community marriages in modern india.

And before I go on, this is a good thing!
