About the Author
Book Blurb
From astrophysics to rocket science to the future of space exploration, Space Is Cool as F*ck explains everything you thought you’d never understand about the universe in plain-old filthy English. We’re talking Big Bang, aliens, black holes, time travel, degenerate astronomers, and all the fundamental things you take for granted until you stop and think (like matter—what is this sh*t, really?).
Alongside the knowledge bombs are 100 wild illustrations, photographs, and original artwork from 40 young international artists curated by Brooklyn designer Cynthia Larenas. Space Is Cool as F*ck also offers an in-depth and illuminating interview with everyone’s favorite TV scientist and head of the Planetary Society, Bill Nye the Science Guy. Space is awesome, space is absolutely bananas, and space is for everyone.
My Review
This is a really fun and informative book for people interested in all things space and don’t mind a bit of swearing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would love to have a copy sitting on my coffee table. It has really vibrant pictures and easy to follow explanations.

It covers a wide range of topics relating to space and astrophysics, and gives a really good beginners overview.
A few random examples of sections include: Exoplanets, Dark Matter & Dark Energy, The Moon, an interview with Bill Nye, Radiowaves, How Rockets Work, Living Off-Planet, Black Holes, and Multiverse. There are 34 sections in total and all are really well researching and informative, plus they have cool pictures to match.
This would be a great present for anyone obsessed with space (like me), or someone who wants to learn more about space and wants something that is easy to read.
Be prepared for a lot of swearing, I really enjoyed this. It gave the content a really enthusiastic energy and made it sound like your friendly theoretical astrophysicist friend getting excited about space and telling you all about it.
