Scott Kelly: Endurance [CC]

The American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, astronaut Scott Kelly comes to CHF to deliver a candid account of his remarkable voyage aboard the International Space Station, the flights that proceeded it, and his colorful formative years. His new memoir Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery describes the extreme challenges of a year in space, both existential and banal: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves, the pressures of constant close quarters, the catastrophic risks of depressurization. Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! host Peter Sagal joins this natural storyteller and modern-day hero in conversation.
