Adult Book Discussion: Orbital by Samantha Harvey

Orbital deftly snapshots one day in the lives of six men and women traveling through space. Selected for one of the last space station missions of its kind before the program is dismantled, these astronauts-from America, Russia, Italy, Britain, and Japan- have left their lives behind to travel at a speed over seventeen thousand miles an hour as the reels below. Their experiences of sixteen sunrises and sixteen sunsets and the bright, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at once breathtakingly awesome and surprisingly intimate.
