' This terrific memoir is utterly gripping' Mail on Sunday Read this book & be inspired to reach for the impossible' Brian Greene Many children dream of becoming an astronaut when they grow up but when a six-year-old Mike Massimino saw Neil Armstrong walk on the moon he knew what he wanted to do when he became an adult But NASA rejected him; then when he applied again they turned him down because of his poor eyesight For the next year he trained his eyes to work better & finally at the third time of asking NASA accepted him So began Massimino's 18-year career as an astronaut & the extraordinary lengths he went to to get accepted was only the beginning In this awe-inspiring memoir he reveals the hard work camaraderie & sheer guts involved in the life of an astronaut; he vividly describes what it is like to strap yourself into the Space Shuttle & blast off into space or the sensation of walking in space as he did when he completed a mission to service the Hubble telescope He also talks movingly about the Columbia tragedy & how it felt to step into the Space Shuttle again in the aftermath of that disaster Massimino was inspired by the film The Right Stuff & this book is not only a tribute to those fellow astronauts he worked with but also a stunning example of someone who had exactly those attributes himself ...
