Tourists In Space: A Practical Guide
Review
"Tourists in Space: A Practical Guide ... look at suborbital and orbital space tourism, particularly for those people considering signing up for a ride into space. ... the book goes into considerable detail about what sort of training prospective spaceflight participants (to use the official FAA terminology, as Seedhouse does in the book) should undergo, and why. ... a good investment to see what they re getting into." --Jeff Foust, National Space Society, July, 2008
"Tourists in Space is a unique book, and its subtitle A Practical Guide hints at what is inside. ... If you are interested in the physiological side of spaceflight then this book is for you ... ." --Nick Quinn, Astronomy Now, August, 2008
