| About The Author | SCOTT KELLY is a former U.S. Navy fighter pilot, test pilot and NASA astronaut. Kelly retired from the Navy at the rank of captain after twenty-five years of service. A veteran of four spaceflights, Kelly commanded the space shuttle Endeavour in 2007 and twice commanded the International Space Station. He has logged more than 520 days in space on four spaceflights and currently holds the records for total time in space and for single-mission endurance by a U.S. astronaut. Kelly spent 340 consecutive days in space, launching in March 2015 and returning home in March 2016. He currently resides in Houston, Texas, when he isn't traveling around the country on a speaking tour. You can follow him on Facebook at NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly, on Instagram at @stationcdrkelly, and on Twitter at @StationCDRKelly, and visit him at scottkelly.com. |
"Captivating, charming . . . [Kelly] pulls back the curtain separating the myth of the astronaut from its human realities." —New York Times Book Review“For space junkies, it’s absolutely required reading. . . . We feel as though we’re right there with him. A great book.” —Booklist"[Endurance] is a memoir of the right stuff that will hypnotize any space geek." —Wall Street Journal"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 Times“Kelly’s account is insightful, at times humorous, heart-tugging at others. And it’s inspiring enough to change the life of some lost kid, just like The Right Stuff did for him.” —USA Today“This isn’t your usual astronaut’s memoir.” —Philadelphia Tribune |
