The **astronaut** and **modern-day hero** who spent a record-breaking year on the **[International Space Station](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94155/which-spacecraft-is-developed-by-isro-for-a-mission-to-venus)** delivers a message of optimism for the future that will inspire **future generations** in this beautiful, intimate book. \
**Scott Kelly**, a **four-time [spaceflight](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94155/which-spacecraft-is-developed-by-isro-for-a-mission-to-venus) veteran** and the **American record holder** for continuous days spent in space, has seen and done things that few people have. Now he leads us into a world that is completely inimical to human life. \
He explains handling the life-threatening and commonplace challenges of long-term **[spaceflight](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94155/which-spacecraft-is-developed-by-isro-for-a-mission-to-venus)**. The body's debilitating effects; his separation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the catastrophic hazards of meeting with space trash; and the even more terrifying possibility of being powerless to aid should tragedy strike at home an excruciating scenario Kelly experienced difficulties when his brother's wife, **American Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords**, was shot on a previous trip while he was still in space for two months \
Kelly's **humanity, compassion, humor, and tenacity** shine through as he remembers his rough-and-tumble **New Jersey** beginnings and the teenage motivation that began his remarkable career, and as he expresses his confidence that Mars will be the next, and ultimately most difficult, step in spaceflight.\
\
The triumph of human creativity, the strength of human will, and the unfathomable grandeur of the cosmos are all shown in **Endurance**. \
**My Year in [Space](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94155/which-spacecraft-is-developed-by-isro-for-a-mission-to-venus) and a Lifetime of Exploration Scott Kelly's book is published by Knopf. The date of publishing is October 17th, 2017.** \
