Space Inheritance. The Story of the World's First Second-Generation Astronaut

In the family of the author of the book, Sergey Volkov, space has become the destiny of two generations of men for the first time in history. Sergey himself made three flights and spent a total of about a year and a half in orbit. His father, Alexander Volkov, Hero of the Soviet Union, visited there three times. He openly and simply talks about how it happened that Sergey followed in his father's footsteps, what trials and training he had to endure, his very first flight into space, the twists and turns of pilot selection for crews, everyday life and celebrations in orbit, dangerous emergency situations, and much more. And we finally learn why there are no former astronauts and what they return to Earth for each time.
