Introduction: Mission impossible -- Pre-launch. The trip takes a lifetime ; Have an attitude ; The power of negative thinking ; Sweat the small stuff ; The last people in the world ; What's the next thing that could kill me? -- Liftoff. Tranquility Base, Kazakhstan ; How to get blasted (and feel good the next day) ; Aim to be a zero ; Life off Earth ; Square astronaut, round hole -- Coming down to Earth. Soft landings ; Climbing down the ladder.
Hadfield takes readers into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. He developed an unconventional philosophy at NASA: Prepare for the worst-- and enjoy every moment of it. By thinking like an astronaut, you can change the way you view life on Earth-- especially your own -- Source other than Library of Congress.
