*As featured on BBC Breakfast, Radio 5Live and Steve Wright in the
Afternoon on BBC Radio 2* From the Nasa astronaut who spent a
record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station - what
it's like out there and what it's like now, back here. Enter Scott
Kelly's fascinating world and dare to think of your own a little
differently. As soon as you realize you aren't going to die, space
is the most fun you'll ever have... The veteran of four space
flights and the American record holder for most consecutive days
spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few of us
ever have and very few of us ever will. Kelly's humanity,
compassion, humour, and passion shine as he describes navigating
the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential
and banal. He touches on what's happened to his body, the sadness
of being isolated from everyone he loves; the pressures of constant
close cohabitation; the catastrophic risks of colliding with space
junk, and the still more haunting threat of being absent should
tragedy strike at home. From a natural storyteller Endurance is one
of the finest examples the triumph of the human imagination, the
strength of the human will, and the boundless wonder of the galaxy.
* What readers are saying... 'Takes you up into space and lets you
be a part of astronaut life' 'Tough to put down! Tells a side you
don't often hear or read about for that matter' 'Mind blowing . . .
up there with Ernest Shackleton for me' 'My husband said it is the
next best thing to going into space yourself' 'Six stars!'
