About this listen

 What does it actually take to survive five missions in space—and what is the U.S. doing to win the new space race? Former NASA Space Shuttle Commander Robert “Hoot” Gibson shares firsthand insight from decades in the cockpit, including the risks, breakthroughs, and behind-the-scenes reality of America’s journey to the moon and beyond. He explains how space exploration has shaped modern life on Earth and why the next era of missions is so critical. In the end, he reveals a simple but challenging truth: The best things in life—like spaceflight itself—only happen when we’re willing to do difficult things.
