pickWhat a fascinating look at life in space! From the mundane aspects of fixing the toilets to the beauty of watching the earth from the international space station, this memoir is incredible. There are slow moments but the majority is honest to the point of being a PR nightmare. I loved seeing the international cooperation & learning what an astronaut‘s life is like struggles & all. His time in space is intense & made me appreciate the small things.

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...
pickI was a kid who grew up watching the interspecies cooperation on Star Trek: TNG & loved it so much that I went to Space Camp at 12.
As a grown-up scientist, I was fascinated by Scott‘s year in space & the twin study in particular. The whole ISS & astronauts still bring the sense of wonder and excitement I had as a kid. I‘m so glad I picked up this book! I love the daily moments & his journey overall. I didn‘t love his voice on the #audiobook. 4⭐️
pickGrowing up on a steady diet of science fiction, I don't think there's a cooler job than traveling in space. No warp drives or alien planets, but Kelly's one year of living on the international space station is an amazing feat worthy of a
movie. Even the most mundane actions take on a new relevance when you're flying thousands of miles above the Earth. 4 🚀🚀🚀🚀
