An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me about Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything by Chris Hadfield

5.0

I stumbled on Chris Hadfield's Twitter feed while he was on the International Space Station. He tweeted some of the most incredible photos of Earth. It made me wonder--what the heck is a Canadian astronaut doing on the space station and how did I miss the fact that there is this amazing work going on above our heads every day? I'm happy to say that this book answers so many of those questions, and more that I didn't think to ask. Cmdr. Hadfield has written a book not just about space flight and how he got to the space station, but about his philosophy of life. It is a fascinating look at space, science, exploration, geography, politics, all rolled into one interesting ride. I actually listened to the audio version, read by the author. Highly recommended!
