Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find yourself strapped to a giant rocket that's about to go from zero to 17,500 miles per hour? Or to look back on Earth from outer space and see the surprisingly precise line between day and night? Or to stand in front of the Hubble Space Telescope, wondering if the emergency repair you're about to make will inadvertently ruin humankind's chance to unlock the universe's secrets? Mike Massimino has been there, and in Spaceman he puts you inside the suit.

Story5 out of 5 stars 97
By August 1968, the American space program was in danger of failing in its two most important objectives: to land a man on the moon by President Kennedy's end-of-decade deadline and to triumph over the Soviets in space. With its back against the wall, NASA made an almost unimaginable leap: It would scrap its usual methodical approach and risk everything on a sudden launch, sending the first men in history to the moon - in just four months.

In fascinating and personal detail, and based on exclusive diaries and audio recordings from his mission, Tim Peake takes listeners closer than ever before to experience what life in space is really like: the sacrifice that astronauts make in being apart from their families, the sights, the smells, the fear, the exhilaration and the deep and abiding wonder of the view from space. Limitless is a book about the power of following our dreams - however unlikely they may seem - and of striving to reach our potential, even when we might not believe in it ourselves.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Endurance by Scott Kelly.
From the NASA astronaut who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station - what it's like out there and what it's like now, back here. Enter Scott Kelly's fascinating world and dare to think of your own a little differently.
The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for most consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few of us ever have and very few of us ever will.
Kelly's humanity, compassion, humour and passion shine as he describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal. He touches on what's happened to his body, the sadness of being isolated from everyone he loves, the pressures of constant close cohabitation, the catastrophic risks of colliding with space junk and the still more haunting threat of being absent should tragedy strike at home.
From a natural storyteller, Endurance is one of the finest examples of the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will and the boundless wonder of the galaxy.

An interesting read for space buffs.
There is no doubt that Scott Kelly is an accomplished human being, having achieved something no other American had done. His Scott’s relatively deadpan delivery of his life story interweaved with his year in space is interesting and worthwhile, but it does tend to pale in comparison to the story that he based his title on regarding Shackleon both in the narrative, the writing and the performance. If you are curious about the modern space program give it a go.

Interesting but tough to listen to
Luckily this story is so interesting, otherwise there is no way I would have managed to listen to the narrator for so long. I appreciate it’s nice to get the author to narrate the book, but he does so with so little expression and enthusiasm, that together with his strong American accent really makes this tough to listen to!

Awesome Space Story
This is a great book about Scott Kelly and his career in NASA. The book goes back and forth chapter by chapter to his year in space and his earlier career experiences. There are quite a few 'laugh out loud' moments in the story as the book really is a roots and all look at his life and career.
Loved this book and it's narrated by the author so it really is a first hand account.
Great read.

The next best thing to being an astronaut
Such a fascinating insight into the life of an astronaut. Amazing tales of what we take for granted on Earth and what you miss when in space.

Loved, loved, loved this!
Kelly makes an impossible feat of human endurance accessible to all and in parts is laugh out loud hilarious. Listening to the man himself recant his life and experiences brings the story to life in a way a paperback would struggle to and I'm glad I opted to listen rather than read this one. It's an incredible, inspiring, entertaining and engaging story and I could not recommend it more highly. I've been telling everyone I know to listen to it just so I can talk to someone about it.
