Very honest appraisal of the US Astronaut program and the work in the ISS

Good read to understand just how many people it takes to put a person in space in a down to Earth style (pun intended). Intriguing to read about the science experiments they do up there and gripping to see Scott's Journey to become an Astronaut (took some seriously hard work and the right inspiration!). Plain speak and a bit of Jargon to wade through, especially the bits about pilot training and the Navy, so be prepared for that but the book is not overly scientific and delivers a good story of the real work it takes to be on the forefront of history. The best parts were how Scott and the ISS crew work with the International community and other Astronauts in a small lonely can in space.. Those bits are truly inspiring writing.. Every American should know about the ISS and this is a great approachable book to reveal that.
