As an ex-mountaineeer and a lover of space & space travel I found this to be an engaging and compelling read. The narrative covers the full spectrum from his youth to the present, presenting both highs & lows. You get some insight into the workings of NASA and the bonds of friendship that form between astronauts and ground support personnel and just how much teamwork is needed. As the astronaut at the "tip of the spear" in repairing the solar array on the ISS Scott vividly details the event, distributing the narrative along the involvement of the team.

I enjoy reading about the space program. The accomplishments are impressive but the human aspect of the story was such a rolling train-wreck. Thank you, Scott, for being willing to share the details of what you could and could not accomplish. The drive that enabled you to accomplish so much seems to have also driven you away from your family. I'm sorry that you and your family have to endure that and I understand that it is a mixed blessing.
