From scorching million degree temperatures, to pressures that would instantly squish you to the size of a ping pong ball, OHely and OSullivan present – in excruciating and scientifically accurate detail! – the physics and physiology of existing (and ceasing to exist) in deep space.

Reviews for 50 Ways to Die in Space

'Hilarious, quirky, fresh, educational. Sure to inspire the next generation of astronomers and astrophysicists.' Isabelle Marot, Austin Film Festival Second Rounder 'The book's fantastic! It's a hit.' Prof Tamara Davis, Uni of QLD 'Fortunately, safe on Earth, the main thing you will die of is laughter. I wish I'd had this in my collection when I was first dreaming of becoming an astronomer. Five Stars (just don't get too close to any of them).' Professor Christopher Fluke, Swinburne University of Technology 'A must read for any budding space enthusiast!' Prof. Andrew Hopkins, Professor of Astronomy, Macquarie Uni 'I finished this laugh-out-loud graphic novel with a renewed sense of how extraordinary it is that we exist at all. Gruesome, gross, and gorgeous.' Jo Skinner, Author 'Agonising death! Instant destruction! Danger everywhere! Fun!' Professor Bryan Gaensler, astrophysicist, University of California and Young Australian of the Year 1999 'This book doesn't sugarcoat it. Space is out to get you in ways that are scary, thrilling and u-u-u-ugly. But you'll enjoy every minute of this exhilarating read.' Dr Tanya Hill, Museums Victoria Astronomer
