"Joseph P. Allen made his first journey into space in November 1982 on the fifth flight of the shuttle orbiter Columbia. In this fascinating book he gives a firsthand insight into travelling into space and brings a human dimension to the US space programme.
'Entering Space' gives a detailed account of a shuttle flight from the tension of the countdown and launch and the challenges of living and working in space, to the dramatic descent and landing, answering all the questions the reader asks about what it is like to be in space. Dr. Allen also looks into the future, to a time when astronauts will be joined in space by ordinary people.
The book is lavishly illustrated with 200 colour photographs from NASA's superb collection many of which have never been seen before."
