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.
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.
Scott Kelly's contribution to his field is immeasurable and his
experience utterly unique. Endurance will bring it to life for
those of us who may never make it beyond the Earth's atmosphere.

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 has a winning modesty and a bone-dry wit
*Daily Mail*
Fascinating reading
*Choice*
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.
