Mike Massimino

Because I didn't choose to read this book and would never have picked it up (it is the 2018 LI Reads book), I think it would be very unfair to rate this. However, I will share my opinions below and my personal rating for it below.

Spaceman is a book that I didn't like, but that's solely based off of my own preferences. While I enjoyed and admired Massimino's drive and enthusiasm, I could only read about the screws of a shuttle for so long. Perhaps the only thing that I actually found interesting was the fact that I have to go to space to fully experience OK Computer.

My rating for this book would be a half star, but again, that would be unfair. Based off of the ratings, I would say that you shouldn't let my opinion on the book influence yours too much, because while it obviously wasn't my cup of tea, it's certainly someone else's!… (plus d'informations)

Spaceman is a memoir by astronaut Mike Massimino. He reflects on his life and retraces his path of becoming an astronaut. As one would expect, there were numerous obstacles and hurdles which Massimino needed to overcome in order to achieve the realization of becoming an astronaut. He details these challenges and what he learned along the way.

Massimino is a loveable and personable man. Watch an interview of him and you’ll immediately see his charm and humility. I listened to the audiobook, which he narrates. This added another element that made his story even more engaging.

I loved this book. You will be drawn into this story. You will be inspired to take control of your own life and to set the bar higher of what you can accomplish. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
