"A slender novel of epic power, Orbital deftly snapshots one day in the lives of six women and men traveling through space. Selected for one of the last space station missions of its kind before the program is dismantled, these astronauts and cosmonauts--from America, Russia, Italy, Britain, and Japan--have left their lives behind to travel at a speed of over seventeen thousand miles an hour as the earth reels below. We glimpse at moments of their earthly lives through brief communications with family, their photos and talismans; we watch them whip up dehydrated meals, float in gravity-free sleep, and exercise in regimented routines to prevent atrophying muscles; we witness them form bonds that will stand between them and utter solitude. Most of all, we are with them as they behold and record their silent blue planet. Their experiences of sixteen sunrises and sunsets and the bright, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at once breathtakingly awesome and surprisingly intimate."--

    5.0 out of 5 stars La historia que podría ser de todos
    Reviewed in Mexico on July 15, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Nos hemos acostumbrado a pensar que los humanos en el espacio son personas extraordinarias. De infinita sabiduría, profundo temple y carácter metodico, racional, casi no humano.
    Pero viene Samantha Harvey y nos cuenta cómo pasarían 24 horas terrestres en la vida de seis astronautas y cosmonautas.
    Lo que sentirían, lo que les alegraria, lo que les llevaría casi al llanto (prohibidas las lágrimas en gravedad cero), lo que les emocionaría o lo que les remontaria a temores primitivos.
    O sea: es la historia de todos nosotros si estuviéramos un día en la EEI.
    Maravillosa lectura que amerita leerla y paladearla, de preferencia junto con la vista de algunas de las miles de fotos y videos captados en y desde la estación misma.

    Un buen libro que te hace pensar sobre lo que significa viajar en el espacio, y las reflexiones de los astronautas. Además de la información que proporciona sobre el espacio y los viajes, es interesante la reflexión que puede hacer el lector.

    4.0 out of 5 stars la belleza de este mundo dentro de un libro de astronautas

    En cada página hay frases tan estupendas que uno querría aparcar el libro un momento, fascinado. Una obra emocionante, con un sentido de la maravilla ante la belleza de la creación que se hace palpable en sus descripciones virtuosas.
