Endurance - A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery


'This isn't your usual astronaut's memoir' Daily Mail 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. 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.

Infinite Wonder


The first photo book by the Nasa astronaut Scott Kelly, who spent a record-breaking Year in Space. This is an awe-inspiring collection of the photos Scott took himself while on board the International Space Station, many of which have never been seen before. Scott Kelly has seen the world in ways most of us never will. During his record-breaking 340 consecutive days on board the ISS, Scott Kelly circled the earth 5,440 times, witnessing 10,944 sunrises and sunsets - that's 16 a day. In all this time, he posted just 713 photos on Instagram. But it's not all sunrises, sunsets and #nofilter. Through the photos Kelly took during his time in space, we can learn to see the world in a new way and we are afforded a glimpse into a life that most of us will never encounter but of which many of us dream. This book will show you what it's really like to be a Nasa astronaut.

Egy év az űrben


Scott Kelly, miután közel egy évet, pontosan 340 napot töltött a világűrben, a Nemzetközi Űrállomáson, 2016. március 1-jén érkezett vissza a Földre. Könyvében veszélyes küldetését meséli el, megosztja velünk, miféle kihívásokkal kellett e hosszú idő alatt szembenéznie, milyen fizikai és lelki megpróbáltatásoknak volt kitéve. Személyes hangvételű történetének középpontjában elsősorban mégsem a nehézségek, hanem az életre szóló, rendkívüli élmények állnak, s az a lelkesedés és akaraterő, mellyel az ember a határait feszegetve az álmait igyekszik megvalósítani. Ez az erő, véli Kelly, jogosít fel bennünket a reményre, hogy mindent képesek vagyunk megtenni a nekünk otthont adó Föld természeti szépségeinek megőrzéséért. Scott Kelly (1964) amerikai űrhajós, négyszer járt a világűrben. A Nemzetközi Űrállomás parancsnokaként legutóbbi, s egyben utolsó útjával minden korábbi rekordot megdöntve ő lett a leghosszabb ideig az űrben szolgálatot teljesítő, amerikai űrhajós.
