What Others Are Saying About Off the Planet by Dr. Jerry M. Linenger - U.S. Astronaut and MIR Cosmonaut
What Others are Saying About Off the Planet and Letters from Mir
What Really Happened On Board Mir
"An unvarnished account of his near-disatrous stay, in 1997, on Russia's creaky space station . . . an engrossing report that NASA's publicity machine will bemoan."
- Booklist
"[Linenger's] frank, personable prose shows readers what it's like to be an astronaut - or at least to be this particular astronaut, trying, along with his Russian companions, to live and work with good humor on an 11-year-old, half-broken, famously flammable space station as its air fills with antifreeze that is leaking out of shoddy cooling lines."
- Publishers Weekly
"NASA astronaut Linenger spent five months aboard the Russian space station Mir, a spacecraft operating far beyond its design life. His personal account vividly captures the challenges and privation he endured both before and during his flight."
- Library Journal
Suttons Bay is a lovely year 'round village surrounded to the east by the bay, and snuggged in under the hills along the shore.
Our downtown main street business district is lined with shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants, a movie theatre and a few antique and resale shops.
