Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery

A very informative and mostly entertaining autobiography, although the narrative starts to drag for the last hundred pages or so. Scott Kelly shares a great deal of his personal life in addition to detailing his exploits in space (mostly his time on the ISS where this book appears to have been written) and the training that brought him there.

I received a free copy of this book for review from the publisher.

I liked the way it was written and I learned a lot about the long duration mission Scott worked on.
He overcame great problems to accomplish a lot.
I plan to read his brothers book and see how it overlaps.
A quote I liked:
“I've learned that most problems are aren't rocket science, but when they are rocket science, you should ask a rocket scientist.”

Simply phenomenal. Told in alternating chapters detailing his Year in Space and the rest of his life leading up to that mission, Kelly does an awesome job of telling his story in a way that makes it very nearly impossible to put down the book. I actually listened to the audiobook for most of this read, which was read by Kelly himself. Also fun was knowing I had followed him on social media during that year, so some of the things he talks about in the book, I actually saw when his team put them on his social media accounts as they happened. Overall an excellent book about the current realities of the International Space Station and at least one man's tale of how he got there.
