This is the amazing story of how men and women live in outer space. Since Yuri Gagarin became the first human to experience "zero g" - zero gravity - when he orbited the Earth in 1961, some 400 astronauts and cosmonauts have followed in his footsteps. Many have suffered from space sickness, some have walked on the Moon and some have died, but all have pioneered new technology and new ways of living in this unconquered territory to establish the late twentieth century as the first chapter in the story of the Space Age.
'Zero G' reveals the fascinating details of how people in space live and work; how they are selected and trained and how they learn to cope with every emergency.
Peter Bond reviews the progress and achievements of four decades of human space flight.
