I've never been one for nin-fiction, in fact, I think I've only ever finished one or two. So why did I give this one a chance? Because I've always had a huge interest in space, and that's what the few non-fiction books I've actually made it through were about. This one drew me in right away, the author has had incredible experiences and it was exciting to read about them first hand. The writing is never dull or boring, and the book is inspiring without being cheesy. I would glady read the whole thing when it comes out and I wish the excerpt were longer!
