Book Description:

Astronaut Kathryn Thornton was in space repairing the Hubble Space Telescope. She was clipped at her feet to the space shuttle's robotic arm. "It was an incredible sight. I was mesmerized," she said as she looked at Earth during her spacewalk. How can a human being exist in space, outside a spacecraft where there is no air? What does it feel like to be weightless and look at Earth from space?
