Mike Massimino achieved his dream of exploring space. Now, he distills stories and insights from NASA into an actionable guide to help you accomplish your biggest goals. Through Moonshot, Mike reveals how to make possible the seemingly impossible—right here on Earth. Written with characteristic wit and a big heart, Mike identifies ten hard-earned lessons from spaceflight and his other life experiences, including:
One in a Million Is Not Zero: The odds are against you. Do it anyway.
The Thirty-Second Rule: You're going to make mistakes. Learn how to deal with them.
Be Amazed: The universe is an incredible place. Stop what you're doing and look around.
Know When to Pivot: Change is inevitable. Accept and embrace it.
Massimino’s journey is a testament to the power of determination and the spirit of adventure. His teachings in Moonshot are applicable not only for aspiring astronauts but for anyone with a personal 'moon shot' they'd like to take in life. Drawing on his transformative experiences, he emphasises that achieving one big thing means getting a thousand little things right along the way.
Moonshot is more than a memoir; it is a manual for life. Whether you are looking to excel in your career, improve personally, or simply be inspired by the extraordinary life of a man who has seen the Earth from space, this book will set you on the right path to achieve your dreams.
