I love Mary Roach's previous witty non-fiction books and had to read this. And what timing, too! I started it right as NASA was having its final hurrah with the launch of space shuttle Atlantis. Packing for Mars is an in-depth look at traveling to/in space from the space race to 2010. Roach discusses the test flights, food studies, bathroom issues and even sex in space. Though she spent a tremendous amount of pages on the perils of pooping in space, I thought it was a great read and I normally don't like non-fiction.
