Reviews

"Scott Kelly's saga is a deeply absorbing and vivid look at a year in space and the many trials and rigors of living weightless inside a football field-sized machine traveling at 17,000 miles per hour. But Endurance satisfies far more than the reader's technological curiosities; it is replete with humor, thrills, surreal details, and recurring moments of ordinary humanity that turn Kelly's tale into a loving tribute to the pioneering individuals who risk all to shepherd man's exploration of the vast beyond." --Khaled Hosseini, author of And the Mountains Echoed "At once compelling and cautionary... Fascinating stuff... A worthy read for space buffs, to say nothing of anyone contemplating a voyage to the stars." -- Kirkus "Scott Kelly's memoir of his year in space and all that preceded it is the real thing--honest, dramatic, illuminating, and simply riveting. With clear, compelling writing, he reveals the nature of space exploration, the current state of the space program, and the raw experience of leaving Earth as has no other book." --T.J. Stiles, author of Custer's Trials, "Scott Kelly's saga is a deeply absorbing and vivid look at a year in space and the many trials and rigors of living weightless inside a football field-sized machine traveling at 17,000 miles per hour. But Endurance satisfies far more than the reader's technological curiosities; it is replete with humor, thrills, surreal details, and recurring moments of ordinary humanity that turn Kelly's tale into a loving tribute to the pioneering individuals who risk all to shepherd man's exploration of the vast beyond." --Khaled Hosseini, author of And the Mountains Echoed "Scott Kelly's book is as close as I and most everyone else on Earth will ever get to experiencing the fascinating, complex, almost preposterously dangerous business of going into space. When I closed the covers, I felt like I had been out there. Endurance is an utterly gripping book that can stand comfortably in the company of Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff. " --Charles C. Mann, author of 1491 "At once compelling and cautionary... Fascinating stuff... A worthy read for space buffs, to say nothing of anyone contemplating a voyage to the stars." -- Kirkus "Scott Kelly's memoir of his year in space and all that preceded it is the real thing--honest, dramatic, illuminating, and simply riveting. With clear, compelling writing, he reveals the nature of space exploration, the current state of the space program, and the raw experience of leaving Earth as has no other book." --T.J. Stiles, author of Custer's Trials, " Kelly brings life in space alive--the wonder and awe of it, and also the jagged edges, the rough parts of living in confined quarters in an alien element, far from everything familiar and beloved. . . . Endurance , with its honest, gritty descriptions of an unimaginable life, a year off Earth, is as close as most readers will come to making that voyage themselves." -- The Financial Times "Kelly's account is insightful, at times humorous, heart-tugging at others. And it's inspiring enough to change the life of some lost kid, just like The Right Stuff did for him." -- USA Today "For space junkies, it's absolutely required reading. The narrative vividly captures Kelly's growing excitement and trepidation as he prepares to spend a year living in an environment where the potential for catastrophe or death is a part of daily life, and once he's aboard the space station, we feel as though we're right there with him. A great book." -- Booklist "Scott Kelly's saga is a deeply absorbing and vivid look at a year in space and the many trials and rigors of living weightless inside a football field-sized machine traveling at 17,000 miles per hour.

Endurance is about excellence and perspective, a memorable read." -- Senator Bill Bradley "This isn't your usual astronaut's memoir." -- The Philadelphia Tribune "Scott Kelly's book is as close as I and most everyone else on Earth will ever get to experiencing the fascinating, complex, almost preposterously dangerous business of going into space.

Stiles, author of Custer's Trials, "Captivating, charming . . . . [Kelly] pulls back the curtain separating the myth of the astronaut from its human realities. . . . It is easy to imagine future generations of explorers and daredevils harnessing the lessons and truths within the pages of 'Endurance' as the blueprints for their own trips into the unknown." --Jaroslav Kalfar, The New York Times Book Review " [Endurance] is a memoir of the right stuff that will hypnotize any space geek." -- The Wall Street Journal " Kelly brings life in space alive--the wonder and awe of it, and also the jagged edges, the rough parts of living in confined quarters in an alien element, far from everything familiar and beloved. . . .

Synopsis

NATIONAL BEST SELLER A stunning, personal memoir from the astronaut and modern-day hero who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station--a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come. The veteran of four spaceflights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly hostile to human life. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both life-threatening and mundane: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the catastrophic risks of 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 a previous mission, his twin brother's wife, American Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two months in space. Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and determination 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 spaceflight. In Endurance , we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the infinite wonder of the galaxy.

The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)

Puts you in the front seat of a year in space.
The book is unique and a page turner. Puts you right in his position going through a year in space. It can be very relatable for people that have gone through trials and challenges, and very inspiring for those of us enduring challenges. The essence of "Endurance" is not a magical gift or talent or privileged position. He was born average, better yet, below the average American, hated school and math, yet he's with the best humanity has to offer to send to space in our galactic endeavors. Endurance is something each and every one of us can do, whether it's math class or going through hell.The book is unique and a page turner.

A great book with a compelling story!
I like this book. It is easy to read, and I learned a lot about the life of an astronaut in space. What an odyssey for Scott Kelly, a true hero! You will like this book too.

Yes, pursuing a career as a NASA astronaut requires a great deal of endurance.
The content was NOT as informative as I hoped it might be; particularly when it came to what the long-term effects of long-duration exposure to space travel are for Scott and likely going to be for others as endeavors to return to the moon and go on to Mars evolve. In addition, I was hoping to learn more about what NASA has found and what it will potentially be doing to address the critical short and long-term health-related issues.The content was NOT as informative as I hoped it might be; particularly when it came to what the long-term effects of long-duration exposure to space travel are for Scott and likely going to be for others as endeavors to return to the moon and go on to Mars evolve.
