How to Astronaut: An Insider's Guide to Leaving… door Terry Virts

This is my first DNF in a long time! A great premise, a great intro that promises amusings and deep ponderings. I bought this on audio as the deal of the day, therefore I can't return; but if I could, I would! The author is reading in an unbearable monotone. The story topics, of which there are 51, are brief and have amusing titles, but they are dull! The audiobook was 11 hours and 27 minutes and I listened to 3 hours. Life is too short!

An interesting read about one astronaut's experiences (which included a 200 days in space mission). It's written as a series of essays in a somewhat conversational style that made it an easy read. I enjoyed most of the entries. The last 3 or 4 strayed from the formula of the rest--addressing some philosophical and theological questions (and the last chapter a bit of an add on relating to the COVID-19 isolation and lockdowns).

"How to Astronaut" contains a series of essays written by the author. They address different aspects of his life, training, and career. Photos are included. The essays are written for the general public readership, rather than a scientific audience. They are both interesting and informative. Readers who are intrigued by learning about astronauts and what they do will enjoy this look into the life of an astronaut, and a vicarious "ride" into space.

I received this book from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions included here are entirely my own.… (meer)
