What's It Like in Space? Book Launch

On April 12, 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space, kicking off new era for humanity. We're hosting the dual celebration at Betabrand HQ, the makers of that really cool NASA-inspired space jacket. We'll have a space-tastic photo backdrop and green screen in place for the perfect space selfies (this is definitely an event to rock your best space-inspired outfits at!) as well as refreshments/snacks. Ariel Waldman will be on site to share some funny/gross stories about what it's like in space, as well as sign books, which you can pre-order or purchase at the event.

About the book:
What's It Like in Space?: Stories from Astronauts Who've Been There
Everyone wonders what it's really like in space, but very few of us have ever had the chance to experience it firsthand. This captivating illustrated collection brings together stories from dozens of international astronauts-men and women who've actually been there-who have returned with accounts of the sometimes weird, often funny, and awe-inspiring sensations and realities of being in space. With playful artwork accompanying each, here are the real stories behind backwards dreams, "moon face," the tricks of sleeping in zero gravity and aiming your sneeze during a spacewalk, the importance of packing hot sauce, and dozens of other cosmic quirks and amazements that come with travel in and beyond low Earth orbit.
