First Edition In this unprecedented collection of personal stories, 77 space shuttle astronauts - the largest number ever in one volume - share their recollections of living and working on board the world's only reusable spaceships over the past 20 years. Through written submissions and original Interviews with the editors of Air & Space/ Smithsonian magazine, the astronauts tell in candid detail what it's really like to launch into orbit, float weightless, conduct spacewalks, view the Earth from 200 miles up, build a space station, and rustle seven-ton satellites by hand. Their stories of adventure, surprise, fear, and awe take us behind the scenes to a wondrous place that few people can visit for themselves.

BERNARD HARRIS, ON BEGINNING A SPACEWALK: As l was getting ready to step out, it feit for an instant like gravity was going to grab hold of me and pull me down toward Earth. l feit myself hanging on to the handrail and saying, "No, you're not going to fall." JOHN GLENN, ON THE CHALLENCER ACCIDENT!
