It continues aboard the Mir space station, where we are invited to share the intimate life of its Russian, American and French inhabitants as they walk on the ceiling and sleep on the walls. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the adventure continues with the new International Space Station. Filled with stunning photographs, many taken by the astronauts themselves, this book tells of the hopes and dreams of those who have been involved in one of the greatest adventures of all time.
