Through Moonshot, Mike reveals how to make possible the seemingly impossible—right here on Earth.

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.

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.
