Retired astronaut Scott Kelly is a former engineer, Navy fighter pilot, and test pilot. A veteran of four space flights, Scott Kelly takes us inside his life: how he went from being an indifferent student (until he read The Right Stuff and decided that he would work harder to achieve his dream of being an astronaut), to a Navy pilot, to an astronaut and ISS inhabitant for a year. He doesn’t sugar coat anything, admitting that he was not the model husband or father. He does shine, however, in his remarkable description of life on the International Space Station and aboard the Space Shuttle. This book is not only a must read for space geeks, but also offers plenty of fascinating insights to general readers like me who enjoy biographies--highly recommended.
