Item Description

If you missed astronaut Scott Kelly as part of the Innovation + Leadership series at The Music Hall earlier this month, fear not. Here are the two books he presented based on his year of space exploration.  Get these both for yourself or for a friend or family member for the holidays.  Kelly’s accounts of living far beyond earth are as fascinating as they are captivating.   

 

Endurance by Scott Kelly

Autographed & Soft Cover

A stunning, personal memoir from the astronaut and modern-day hero who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station—a message of hope for the future that will inspire generations to come.

 

Infinite Wonder by Scott Kelly

Autographed & Hardcover

One's perspective shifts when one lives for an entire year in the isolating, grueling, and utterly unforgiving vacuum of space.  Only Commander Scott Kelly knows that, however.  No other astronaut has matched that endurance.  Kelly's photos prove that this perspective--from 250 miles above earth--while hard-won, is also almost unspeakably beautiful. He mastered the rare art of microgravity photography. Using a Nikon D4 with a long 800mm lens and a 1.4x magnifying zoom lens, he panned the camera as the shutter released in order to compensate for the space station's velocity: 17,500 mph relative to the earth. Kelly's artist's eye helped make him a social media sensation, and here his photos are collected alongside his own commentary, which sets the images in their proper contexts, human and cosmic.
