About this listen

 Retired U.S. Navy flight surgeon and NASA astronaut Captain Jerry Linenger on this archive edition of Fresh Air. In his book, Off the Planet: Surviving Five Perilous Months Aboard the Space Station Mir, Linenger chronicles his five months on board the Russian space station "Mir," a ramshackle place he described as "six school buses all hooked together." During his time there, they had numerous brushes with death, lacked adequate supplies, and battled constant system failures. (Original Broadcast Date: February 21, 2000)(P) and ©2001 WHYY-FM
