But what we don\u2019t seem to consider are the challenges introduced by living in such a zero-gravity environment. That\u2019s exactly what Pablo Nespoli, an astronaut who has spent a total of 313 days onboard the ISS, decided to write a book about.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-6387\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nespoli, together with photographer Roland Miller, decided to write a book detailing what life is like living onboard the ISS. Why have a photographer help you write a book about living in space, you ask? Because the best way to depict life in space turns out to be through photographs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Earth, Miller would regularly direct Nespoli, who was up in the ISS, how to take good photos. Everything from framing to lighting would have to be conveyed to Nespoli, floating 254 miles away. As you can probably guess, this was no easy task.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somehow, though, the two managed to work things out and got enough photos to include in a book. It\u2019s something the pair called \u201cspace archeology.\u201d Nespoli says that \u201cit\u2019s a documentation of what we, the human species, have been capable of achieving in space, not only from a technological point of view, but also from a human point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-6387',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nespoli says that living in space is something that is extremely difficult in surprising ways. But some difficulties in space don\u2019t necessarily come as a surprise, like feeling homesick. Nespoli says, \u201cYou are an extraterrestrial person. You look down, you see your planet, and it\u2019s the first time you perceive that that is your home. To me, Earth felt like it was a ship flying in the universe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nespoli took the photos when the rest of the crew were asleep, so as not to bother them. As a result, the photos have an eerie, lonely feel, something that Nespoli acknowledges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People may also notice how pristine the ISS interior appears. Nespoli claims that this is due to lack of \u201cscuffing and touching\u201d of the equipment because of the zero-gravity environment. \u201cYou don\u2019t do that in space because you\u2019re weightless. The walls are made of painted metal, so it\u2019s easy to keep them clean,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anybody can purchase Nespoli and Miller\u2019s book right now on Amazon.
