    About this audiobook

    A stunning, personal memoir from the astronaut and modern-day hero who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station—a candid account of his remarkable voyage, of the journeys that preceded it, and of his colorful and inspirational formative years.

    The veteran of four spaceflights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly hostile to human life. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both life-threatening and mundane: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the catastrophic risks of colliding with space junk; and the still more haunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home--an agonizing situation Kelly faced when, on a previous mission, his twin brother's wife, American Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two months in space.

    Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and determination resonate throughout, as he recalls his rough-and-tumble New Jersey childhood and the youthful inspiration that sparked his astounding career, and as he makes clear his belief that Mars will be the next, ultimately challenging, step in spaceflight.

    A natural storyteller, Kelly has a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come. Here we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the infinite wonder of the galaxy.

      Amazing, I would recommend this to anyone fascinated by space!
    • 5/5
      Enjoyed all the details of Scott’s feelings behind the challenges. Every little detail applies to life on earth and beyond.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely amazing, full of vivid images and details of space.
    • 4/5
      This is a good book, he goes through his childhood and tells us how he got where he is. He jumps back and forth in time to tell of his experiences. It is overall a precise and detailed story of Scott's experience, a pretty conservative read however.
    • 5/5
      Phenomenal book and production. Thank you Cmndr Kelly, you are an inspiration
    • 5/5
      Was amazing hearing the story told by the author himself. Also learned so much about life on, technology behind, difficulties with, dangers in the ISS that I a) didn't know I was ignorant of, and b) wasn't even sure were "a thing". You'll definitely learn something. Give this book a try!
    • 5/5
      Exceptional - don't miss it! Let's hope we hear more about life on the ISS.
