À propos de cet audio

 NATIONAL BEST SELLER

A stunning, personal memoir from the astronaut and modern-day hero who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station—a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come.

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.

In Endurance, we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the infinite wonder of the galaxy.

My favourite astronaut story outside of Chris Hadfield’s Guide to Life on Earth. Which I highly recommend.

The story of Scott Kelly’s year long adventure on the ISS was captivating and inspiring. I looked forward to listening every chance I could.

Amazing and inspiring, Scott is so open, no other book like this exists, puts you right in his shoes for his whole life. Extremely interesting and makes it seem like the impossible is possible.

Amazing book for space lovers

Having Scott Kelly doing his own reading made the story of his time as an astronaut and the path that led him there seem so much more personal.

I was incredibly entertained for the duration of the audiobook, and will certainly be listening to it again, as well as purchasing a physical copy of his book.

From struggling student to navy test pilot to human guinea pig, you get a great understanding of what it takes to be an astronaut.

Scott Kelly is a remarkable human being.

wonderful behind the scenes look at the life of an astronaut , and what drives him. audio performance is satisfactory, keeping in mind we are listening to an astronaut read his own story, not a voice actor.

awesome
