Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Reprint. Product DescriptionNATIONAL BESTSELLER The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly hostile to human life: the extreme challenges of long-term spaceflight.Kellys account is insightful, at times humorous, heart-tugging at others. And its inspiring enough to change the life of some lost kid, just like The Right Stuff did for him. -USA TodayHe describes navigating long-term spaceflight-the devastating effects on the body, the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth, the pressures of constant close cohabitation, and the catastrophic risks of depressurization or colliding with space junk. But perhaps the most haunting challenge is that of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home, something Kelly knows about firsthand.Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and passion resonate throughout, as he recalls his rough-and-tumble New Jersey childhood and the youthful inspiration that sparked his astounding career. Here, in his personal story, we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the infinite wonder of the galaxy.ReviewCaptivating, charming . . . . [Kelly] pulls back the curtain separating the myth of the astronaut from its human realities. . . . It is easy to imagine future generations of explorers and daredevils harnessing the lessons and truths within the pages of Endurance as the blueprints for their own trips into the unknown. -Jaroslav Kalfar, The New York Times Book Review[Endurance] is a memoir of the right stuff that will hypnotize any space geek. -The Wall Street JournalKelly brings life in space alive-the wonder and awe of it, and also the jagged edges, the rough parts of living in confined quarters in an alien element, far from everything familiar and beloved. . . . Endurance, with its honest, gritty descriptions of an unimaginable life, a year off Earth, is as close as most readers will come to making that voyage themselves. -The Financial TimesKellys account is insightful, at times humorous, heart-tugging at others. And its inspiring enough to change the life of some lost kid, just like The Right Stuff did for him. -USA TodayFor space junkies, its absolutely required reading. . . . We feel as though were right there with him. A great book. -BooklistScott Kellys saga is a deeply absorbing and vivid look at a year in space and the many trials and rigors of living weightless inside a football field-sized machine traveling at 17,000 miles per hour. But Endurance satisfies far more than the readers technological curiosities; it is replete with humor, thrills, surreal details, and recurring moments of ordinary humanity that turn Kellys tale into a loving tribute to the pioneering individuals who risk all to shepherd mans exploration of the vast beyond. -Khaled Hosseini, author of And the Mountains EchoedRead this book and you will believe in our American future, thrill at our human potential, and laugh at the absurdities of life. Endurance is about excellence and perspective, a memorable read. -Senator Bill BradleyThis isnt your usual astronauts memoir. -The Philadelphia TribuneScott Kellys book is as close as I and most everyone else on Earth will ever get to experiencing the fascinating, complex, almost preposterously dangerous business of going into space. When I closed the covers, I felt like I had been out there. Endurance is an utterly gripping book that can stand comfortably in the company of Tom Wolfes The Right Stuff. -Charles C. Mann, author of 1491Scott Kellys memoir of his year in space and all that preceded it is the real thing-honest, dramatic, illuminating, and simply riveting. With clear, compelling writing, he reveals the nature of space exploration, the current state of the space program, and the raw experience of leaving Earth as. Seller Inventory # DADAX0525432434
