It gets better
The first few sentences were a struggle to get through. The first one especially with all of the punctuation and long length of it. However, once Scott Kelly gets into the flow of the story it begins to pick up and flow much better. It was interesting to read about an American hero who is not a soldier or LEO or pilot, or any of the other stories I routinely read. Space is inherently fascinating, but getting a first hand read into Scott Kelly's life is pretty awesome.
