Description:
space, Off the Planet tells the complete story of that ill-starred mission. In a moving, first-person narrative, Linenger chronicles the crew's day-to-day struggle to stay alive in the face of failing equipment on board and bureaucratic arrogance on the ground. He vividly describes how, choking on antifreeze fumes leaking from rusting pipes, the cosmonauts experienced repeated complete power failures that left them in the dark and tumbling out of control. He recounts tense moments spent watching helplessly as an unmanned cargo ship hurtled toward them at 18,000 miles per hour, missing Mir by mere inches. And, most unforgettable, is his dramatization of the crew's nightmarish encounter with a fire that nearly claimed the lives of all three crew members.
