Limitless : the autobiography
Experience what life in space is really like: the sights, the smells, the fear, the sacrifice, the exhilaration and the deep and abiding wonder of the view. Warm, inspiring and often funny, Limitless charts Time Peak's surprising road to becoming an astronaut, from a shy and unassuming boy from Chichester who had a passion for flight, to a young British Army officer, Apache helicopter pilot, flight instructor and test pilot who served around the world. Tim also relives his gruelling six years of training to be an astronaut, tested physically, psychologically and intellectually - from learning Russian to coping with the claustrophobia of living for days in caves and under oceans. Full of life lessons for readers of all ages, Limitless is the story of how ordinary can become extraordinary.
Tim Peake and Britain's road to space
\"This book puts the reader in the flight suit of Britain's first male astronaut, Tim Peake. In addition to delving into the life of Tim Peake, this book discusses the learning curves required in astronaut and mission training and the complexity of the technologies required to launch an astronaut and keep them alive for months on end. This book underscores the fact that technology and training, unlike space, do not exist in a vacuum; complex technical systems, like the ISS, interact with the variables of human personality, and the cultural background of the astronauts. But ultimately, this is the story of Tim Peake and the Principia mission and the down-to-the-last-bolt descriptions of life aboard the ISS, by way of the hurdles placed by the British government and the rigors of training at Russia's Star city military base\" -- Page [4] of cover.

A British marathon completes the first marathon in space
Before we go tonight we want to tell you about a grueling test of endurance. The London Marathon, more than 30,000 people took part, but one of them wasn't on earth.
