Unlike other books that are more technical in format, this text is targeted for the general public. With the advent of space tourism and the increasing involvement of private enterprise in space, there is now a need to explore the impact of space missions on the human psyche and on the interpersonal relationships of the crewmembers. Separate chapters of the book deal with psychosocial stressors in space and in space analog environments; psychological, psychiatric, interpersonal, and cultural issues pertaining to space missions; positive growth-enhancing aspects of space travel; the crew-ground interaction; space tourism; countermeasures for dealing with space; and unique aspects of a trip to Mars, the outer solar system, and interstellar travel., , , 2016.585.1, , , Space flight, Astronauts., Astronautics, , , , 0, 0, 0, Psychological aspects., Psychological aspects., Springer-Praxis books in space exploration., , 0, YBP Library Services, YANK, , , 12374426, HELD BY AP$ - 6 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, , , I, i, , 04a616.9/80214223, aZ0bAP$, TL790 .K384 2015 Subjects Material Book
