À propos de cet audio

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

The veteran of four space flights 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 inimical to human life. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the pressures of constant close cohabitation; the catastrophic risks of depressurization or 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 another mission, his twin brother's wife, Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two months in space. Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and passion 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 American spaceflight.

A natural storyteller and modern-day hero, Kelly has a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come. Here, in his personal story, we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the boundless 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 book for space lovers

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

Great listen about the path and adventures of an astronaut. Amazing description of the duties and typical day in space. Scott's voice wasn't boring or overly exciting but 100x better than James Fraco ( slaughter house 5)

Great listen

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.

Great book that starts wherever the beginning and ends at the ending. Mr Kelly's story has interspersed his professional life with his personal life, and presents well his voyages, journeys, and successes.

The narration at times was robotic, but that quickly gave way to the natural flow of the particular passage being read.

The pace of the book was also spot on. Some points dragged, but if you were in space for a year.... yeah, some parts would drag.

I recommend this book!

Better Than a Space Voyage Book

It was great to hear Scott Kelly tell his story in his own words. I enjoyed the narrative structure, alternating between his year in space and his prior life.

interesting, informational and inspiring
