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.
As soon as you realize you aren´t going to die, space is the most fun you´ll ever have...
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 the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the boundless wonder of the galaxy.

"Forget what you´ve read elsewhere" The Times
Scott Kelly is a retired astronaut and International Space Station commander. He recently returned from his YearInSpace to break all records and become the longest serving American in space.
