Episode: Living in Space, with Scott Kelly
It was written by Scott Kelly about his year-long mission on the International Space Station. It was discussed, and Scott mentioned reading 'The Right Stuff' in college, which inspired him.
Scott wrote a best-selling memoir about that year-long mission and it's called Endurance, A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery.
So you were all grown up before you even had a thought of going into space?
So it was never something that I seriously considered or aspired to mostly because I didn't think it was possible for me because I could not pay attention in class. I couldn't do my homework. I wasn't a good student.
Now later, once I had this spark of inspiration that this book provided, it took me a while, but eventually I was able to figure out how to pay attention, to study, to do better.
So at some point you said to yourself, I have the right stuff.
