Astronauts cannot take showers in microgravity. Tiny drops of water could drift away and damage equipment so they have to make do with a wet cloth and rinseless shampoo. Discover what it is like to live and work aboard The Space Shuttle. Simple text and awe-inspiring color photographs and diagrams show: - inside the shuttle - living conditions - the various roles of the ground crew - the shuttle's role in our future in space
