Scott Kelly

    Scott Kelly je autor, ktorý prináša jedinečný pohľad na vesmír, nadobudnutý počas viacerých vesmírnych letov a velenia na Medzinárodnej vesmírnej stanici. Jeho písanie čerpá z hlbokého pochopenia disciplíny a výziev, ktorým čelia jednotlivci v prostrediach s vysokými fyzickými a psychickými nárokmi. Kellyho príbehy odrážajú mimoriadnu odolnosť, tímovú prácu a túžbu po objavovaní, ktoré sú kľúčové pre prieskum vesmíru. Jeho dielo ponúka čitateľom fascinujúci pohľad do života mimo Zeme a do ľudského ducha.

      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.
