Spaceman by Mike Massimino Book Summary
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NASA astronaut Mike Massimino shares incredible true stories from space—a rare, wonderful world where science meets the most thrilling adventure.
“Mike is a spaceman through and through; he tells how hard work can take you out of this world.”—Bill Nye the Science Guy
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find yourself strapped to a giant rocket that’s about to go from zero to 17,500 miles per hour? Or to look back on Earth from outer space and see the surprisingly precise line between day and night? Or to stand in front of the Hubble Space Telescope, wondering if the emergency repair you’re about to make will inadvertently ruin humankind’s chance to unlock the universe’s secrets?
Mike Massimino has been there, and in Spaceman he puts you inside the suit, with all the zip and buoyancy of life in microgravity.
Massimino’s childhood space dreams were born the day Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. Growing up in a working-class Long Island family, he catapulted himself to Columbia and then MIT, only to flunk his first doctoral exam and be rejected three times by NASA before making it through the final round of astronaut selection.
Taking us through the surreal wonder and beauty of his first spacewalk, the tragedy of losing friends in the Columbia shuttle accident, and the development of his enduring love for the Hubble Telescope—which he and his fellow astronauts were tasked with saving on his final mission—Massimino has written an ode to never giving up, revealing just what having “the right stuff” really means.

This book can be summed up in one word.... Inspiring! If you want a well written, entertaining, and inspiring book to read, then this is the book for you!
wonderful true story of growing up to become a space-walking astronaut. ...from Long Island (with friends offering "go for it" life advice) to repairing the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit (with friends helping both equipment-wise and emotionally), with stops at Columbia, MIT (where good friends help him prepare for PhD exams), Houston astronaut training (where dear friends help him prepare for scuba and space walk tests), NASA public relations and "Big Bang Theory" TV appearances. "Mass" shows how astronauts help each other, especially when disaster brings death, and shows how NASA is working for the good of all people on our spinning spaceship Earth.
Spaceman. A terrific read and great human story
Could Not Stop Reading. I'm a 52 year old housewife, the furthest person you would think of to devour this book like I did! Mr. Massimino; not only did you represent our country as an astronaut above and beyond the call of one, but as a person as well. I enjoyed the way you brought us lay persons into your world and into the world of NASA in a way we could have never experienced. When I got to the part about your television appearance on that popular show (won't spoil it for others), I told my husband - and he said "oh, yeah - that was Mass!" - like duh, I should've known that already. Thank you for writing this. Thank you for sharing what you experienced when you experienced what you experienced with those of us who didn't experience what you were so blessed to have experienced.
