Perhaps this is a good time to pose this question. I like to watch the Reddit videos of spacewalks. They often have astronauts pov. I know they are on YouTube as well. But someone but up quite a stunning one the other day of the astronaut making his way on the exterior of the space station and clicking and unclicking his safety harness into different positions as he made his way.
A number of years back I was working on machinery no more than 100ft but I remember those safety harness things, sometimes you do it second nature sometimes you do it all slow and careful. I imagine in space it is more likely slow and careful.
I was wondering if anybody had read any books on the “psychology” of space flight. Like how does it change perspective. Have some had “spiritual awakenings” or is it more of a scientific awakening? I mean if just watching it amazes one how the hec does the experience alter one’s view of things after they return. I am just looking for recommendations on a book of that nature. By chance I am actually having a limited edition space flavored Coca Cola with my humble dinner. It actually says “space flavored” I did not even consider considering the taste of space.
