A review by jenmangler
Spaceman by Mike Massimino

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. As a huge space geek and an unabashed Hubble lover, reading about Massimino's two missions to rescue and repair that fabulous telescope were thrilling. His descriptions of the profound effect of seeing the earth from space was very moving. I expected that. What I didn't expect, and completely loved, was his emphasis on the importance of relationships. He gives us an inside look at NASA, and the best part of that is how everyone is a team, how supportive they are of each other, and how they make each other better. I didn't think I could love NASA more than I already did. I was wrong. Massimino tells his story as one of big dreams and perseverance, of friendship and teamwork, of the human as explorer. He tells the story of space. And it's a beautiful story.
