He also describes the sensory isolation one experiences after spending an extended period of time in space. Kelly captures moments great and small, heart wrenching and harrowing, as well as all the complexities and minutia of his everyday existence in space – the longest mission in history by an American astronaut. In "Endurance," Kelly's life aboard the ISS is rendered in frank detail, much of it heretofore untold.
Kelly also makes a compelling argument for space exploration (public and private), and tells us what it means (and what it will take) to be an explorer in the twenty-first century. He will also recount the obstacles he encountered along the way - his early struggles in school (where he was a C-student), his training as a Navy test pilot, and the work required to become an astronaut (and live in space for one year). Kelly will tell the story of his journey to space and his life aboard the ISS. Jonathan Segal, Knopf Vice President and Senior Editor, will edit the book. The announcement was made today by Sonny Mehta, Chairman of Alfred A. The book, "Endurance: My Year in Space and Our Journey to Mars," to be written with Margaret Lazarus Dean, will be published by Knopf in November 2017. Scott Kelly, the pioneering NASA astronaut who recently returned to Earth after 340 days in space, and whose time aboard the International Space Station was celebrated around the world, will write a book about his life, his historic journey, and the future of space exploration. Knopf release Astronaut Scott Kelly to Write a Book About His Life in Space Here, in his personal story, we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the boundless wonder of the galaxy.Īlfred A. A natural storyteller and modern-day hero, Kelly has a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come. 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, and as he makes clear his belief that Mars will be the next, ultimately challenging step in American spaceflight. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal: the devastating effects on the body the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth the pressures of constant close cohabitation the catastrophic risks of depressurization or colliding with space junk, and the still more haunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home - an agonizing situation Kelly faced when, on another mission, his twin brother's wife, Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two months in space.
Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly inimical to human life. 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.
