An autobiography by the famous astronaut, doctor, athlete, and true dreamer of the stars. Scott Parazinski earned a medical degree, almost became a member of the Olympic sledding team, trained in mountain climbing, and ended up in the astronaut corps. He shares interesting details about astronaut training and America’s space program, about his spacewalk to repair a solar battery on the ISS, about Russian cosmonauts and training in Star City. He also had a love for mountain peaks, spine injuries, a complex and beautiful family story, and two different and not-simple children. And yet he conquered Everest—from the second attempt.
