520    "From the beginning of the space age, scientists and 
       engineers have worked on systems to help humans survive 
       for the astounding 28,500 days (78 years) needed to reach 
       another planet. They've imagined and tried to create a 
       little piece of Earth in a bubble travelling through space,
       inside of which people could live for decades, centuries, 
       or even millennia. Far Beyond the Moon tells the dramatic 
       story of engineering efforts by astronauts and scientists 
       to create artificial habitats for humans in orbiting space
       stations, as well as on journeys to Mars and beyond. Along
       the way, David P. D. Munns and Kärin Nickelsen explore the
       often unglamorous but very real problem posed by long-term
       life support: How can we recycle biological wastes to 
       create air, water, and even food in meticulously 
       controlled artificial environments? Together, they draw 
       attention to the unsung participants of the space program-
       the sanitary engineers, nutritionists, plant physiologists,
       bacteriologists, and algologists who created and tested 
       artificial environments for space based on chemical 
       technologies of life support-as well as the 
       bioregenerative algae systems developed to reuse waste, 
       water, and nutrients, so that we might cope with a space 
       journey of not just a few days, but months, or more likely,
       years"--|cProvided by publisher.
