340 Tage im All - eine überirdische Abenteuergeschichte Ein Jahr lebte Scott Kelly ohne Unterbrechung im Weltraum, auf der ISS, viermal flog er ins All. Jetzt blickt er zurück auf ein Leben voller Gefahren und Abenteuer – mit der Hoffnung, dass der blaue Planet zu retten ist: »Ich habe begriffen, dass Gras wunderbar riecht und dass Regen ein Wunder ist.« Aus der kalten Ferne des Universums und der Internationalen Raumstation hat der Raumfahrt-Veteran Scott Kelly wie kein anderer gefühlt, wie kostbar das Refugium Erde ist. In seiner persönlichen Geschichte nimmt er den Leser mit in eine lebensfeindliche Welt; er erzählt von den Herausforderungen eines Langzeitflugs im All und den dramatischen Folgen für Körper und Seele. Doch im Zentrum stehen die überwältigenden Eindrücke und Erlebnisse, die Begeisterung und der Wille, mit denen Menschen ihre Träume verwirklichen. Mit dieser Kraft können sie, so mahnt Kelly, auch die Schönheit ihres einmaligen Heimatplaneten bewahren. Ausstattung: 16-seitiger farbiger Bildteil
