Scott Kelly dreamed of being an American astronaut and was able to accomplish his goals with hard work and perseverance. With four spaceflights and an extended stay on the ISS under his belt, readers are able to gain first hand knowledge about life in space. Being a twin, with his brother also an astronaut, provided value to the space program without measure, as the data collected regarding the effects on the body is priceless. The isolation, but also the companionship of his fellow astronauts, has given Kelly a unique perspective on life.
Besides cataloging his many accomplishments during his time with the space program, Endurance is a memoir about Mr. Kelly's childhood, his struggles in college, and the steps that he took in order to ensure his place in American history. Readers of all ages will take away valuable lessons about their own goals and aspirations, as Scott Kelly is proof that dreams can become reality and the sky is not the limit. I would recommend Endurance to readers who enjoy memoirs, who are fans of the great unknown, and who ever had a dream.
