Product Description
A typical NASA space shuttle mission lasted about ten days. An astronaut will usually stay on the International Space Station for six months. Scott Kelly recently spent a record-breaking year in space. During that journey, he experienced danger and isolation - and wonder and awe - as he orbited the earth at 27,000 mph. One man at the very extreme of our world. That journey helped the future get a whole lot closer. The unique insight Scott gathered, measuring the vital statistics of his body against those of twin brother Mark back on earth, will help give us answers to some big questions: could we really be living on Mars one day? Might we holiday in space in the future? What are humans really capable of?
