My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent account of everything that makes an astronaut's career. I particularly enjoyed has reading "The Right Stuff" spurred Kelly to his path as an astronaut.

Fun - not the same as the movies, but....

I confess to a great deal of ignorance to much in the Marvel Cinematic & Comic Universes, so this was a stretch to sort out the similarities and differences in this book from the movies. But... it was fun, and thanks to Amazon Prime, it was free.... So, now that they suckered me in, I just might need to read more.

And maybe I need to find a Wiki or something to help me sort out the different universes.....

Excellent - a very good review of what is going on in the "new Space" movement. And - yet again, I find I'm rooting for Blue Origin over SpaceX - we need them both, of course, but I just like the Blue Origin style - I'm rooting for the tortoise!
