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 embarked on an emergency repair of 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. ...
