Scott Kelly Bücher

340 Tage im All - eine überirdische Abenteuergeschichte Ein Jahr lebte Scott Kelly ohne Unterbrechung im Weltraum, auf der ISS, viermal flog er ins All. Jetzt blickt er zurück auf ein Leben voller Gefahren und Abenteuer – mit der Hoffnung, dass der blaue Planet zu retten ist: »Ich habe begriffen, dass Gras wunderbar riecht und dass Regen ein Wunder ist.« Aus der kalten Ferne des Universums und der Internationalen Raumstation hat der Raumfahrt-Veteran Scott Kelly wie kein anderer gefühlt, wie kostbar das Refugium Erde ist. In seiner persönlichen Geschichte nimmt er den Leser mit in eine lebensfeindliche Welt; er erzählt von den Herausforderungen eines Langzeitflugs im All und den dramatischen Folgen für Körper und Seele. Doch im Zentrum stehen die überwältigenden Eindrücke und Erlebnisse, die Begeisterung und der Wille, mit denen Menschen ihre Träume verwirklichen. Mit dieser Kraft können sie, so mahnt Kelly, auch die Schönheit ihres einmaligen Heimatplaneten bewahren. Ausstattung: 16-seitiger farbiger Bildteil

‘Kelly’s verslag toont aan dat ‘jonge’ astronauten prima kunnen schrijven.’ ★★★★ de Volkskrant De ongekende ruimtereis van een hedendaagse held. Aan boord van de ISS (International Space Station) maakt Nasa-astronaut Scott Kelly dingen mee die bijna niemand van ons ooit mee zal maken. Vanaf dag één staat hij voor immense uitdagingen: het gemis van kinderen en geliefde, de risico’s van een catastrofale fout, samenwerken in een kleine ruimte, ingewikkelde wetenschappelijke proeven, de verwoestende effecten op zijn lichaam, én de altijd aanwezige angst dat er thuis iets vreselijks gebeurt en hij er niet bij kan zijn. In dit persoonlijke verslag van een uitzonderlijke missie vertelt Kelly over zijn kleurrijke leven. Hoe hij na een moeilijke jeugd in New Jersey met zijn tweelingbroer en hun alcoholistische ouders toch zijn grote droom weet te verwezenlijken en astronaut wordt. Een jaar in de ruimte. Een leven lang astronaut is het unieke verhaal van een astronaut die langer dan wie dan ook in de ruimte verbleef - over de triomf van de verbeelding, de kracht van de menselijke wil en het onvoorstelbare wonder van ons heelal.
