Taking Off with Thomas Pesquet Dans la combi de Thomas Pesquet Marion Montaigne, Dargaud, 2017 Popular science writer Marion Montaigne recounts a year in the life of astronaut Thomas Pesquet. For twelve months, Montaigne followed the day-to-day life of the French astronaut, who in 2008 became one of the lucky few selected from among 8,000 candidates to take part in the European Space Agency’s human spaceflight program. This reportage takes us from NASA’s training center in Houston (Texas, USA) to Star City in Moscow (Russia), to the Soyuz rocket launch site in Baikonur (Kazakhstan). Taking Off with Thomas Pesquet is an entertaining and meticulously detailed account of the life of a modern-day astronaut and a look into human space exploration.
