Written with humor, reflection, and humanity, he glosses over every section of his life before and after his year in space. He offers much insight into his experiences becoming an astronaut and being an astronaut. ]]> 2018-12-19 15:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/315886174 moakley21 https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/315888156 2018-12-19 15:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/315888156 moakley21 https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/315891266 Offering my opinion on the book, I would say it is a fantastic book. He has much humor and heart in his writing. Much insight is offered in every page and I learned a lot reading it. It is very interesting hearing about his childhood and such and the environment he grew up in. There isn't really anything I dislike about the book. For me the most interesting part of the book was, as I said earlier, him talking about his childhood. Of all the characters, Scott himself was the most interesting. I can relate to that feeling he had of wanting to take risks because when I was younger I took a lot of risks and did many dumb things. However a lot of the time, it didn't end well for me.]]> 2018-12-19 15:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/315891266 moakley21 https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/315895266 I would definitely recommend this book to anybody interested in space travel, a good autobiography, or just looking for a book to read. It offers much useful insight and comedy and there's lot of stuff in it that might resonate or relate to you.]]> 2018-12-19 15:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/315895266 moakley21 https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/315896315 "I found it bewildering that some people my age could just sit still, breathing and blinking, for entire school days--that they could just resist the urge to run outside, to take off exploring, to do something new, to take risks."

“I've learned that an achievement that seems to have been accomplished by one person probably has hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people's minds and work behind it, and I've learned that it's a privilege to be the embodiment of that work.”

“I pay close attention to the primaries of both parties, and though I don’t tend to be a worrier, I start to worry. Sometimes before going to sleep I look out the windows of the Cupola at the planet below. What the hell is going on down there?” ]]> 2018-12-19 15:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/315896315 moakley21 https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/316258666 I chose Comfort Zone by The Answer as my track because he likes to come out of what the comfort zone of society is and take new risks.]]> 2018-12-20 18:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/moakley21/scottkellyendurance/wish/316258666
