"A COMMON THREAD
Cosmonauts and astronauts - those of us who have been in the black silence of space- are not all alike, nor, in the passing of years, do we remain the same. Space flight has influenced each of us in different ways, moved us in different directions.
But in space exploration we are united by our purpose just as we are in joining together to form the Association of Space Explorers.
- Yuri Glazkov, Russia
'The Greatest Adventure' is an eloquent and passionate statement on human exploration.
Everyone is affected by our thrust into space, certainly through the advancement of science and technology, but also by our new vision of our planet and its place in the universe.
This book answers questions that all people share, as it brings to life the excitement and fears of leaving Earth.
Essays from the space explorers of 8 countries and over 160 photographs detail the wide range of experiences encountered: preparation for flight, living without gravity and directly viewing our planet as a celestial body - but they reach further to define our unquenchable urge to explore, our savouring of the experience and our next surge outward."
"Edited by Edward Gibson, who worked 84 days on board Skylab 4 as the Scientist/Pilot. Twenty-five years after the first moon landing, Skylab 4 remains the longest American space mission."
