340 jours dans l'espace - Sortie mondiale en octobre 2017.
Avec presque une année en apesanteur, l'astronaute américain Scott Kelly détient le record du plus long séjour jamais réalisé à bord de la station spatiale internationale.
Ce livre est le récit d'une aventure exceptionnelle.
Il nous raconte une partie de l'histoire de la conquête spatiale à laquelle il a contribué et nous fait vivre le quotidien d'un astronaute à bord de l'ISS (repas et nourriture, réparations diverses, sorties extravéhiculaire, expériences scientifiques, problèmes de ravitaillement, relations entre les membres d'équipage, nuit de Noël, beauté infinie de la galaxie...). Scott Kelly est un héros des temps moderne avec qui nous voulons croire qu'un jour l'homme marchera sur Mars.

*As featured on BBC Breakfast, Radio 5Live and Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2* From the Nasa astronaut who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station - what it's like out there and what it's like now, back here. Enter Scott Kelly's fascinating world and dare to think of your own a little differently.
As soon as you realize you aren't going to die, space is the most fun you'll ever have...
The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for most consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few of us ever have and very few of us ever will.
Kelly's humanity, compassion, humour, and passion shine as he describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal. He touches on what's happened to his body, the sadness of being isolated from everyone he loves; the pressures of constant close cohabitation; the catastrophic risks of colliding with space junk, and the still more haunting threat of being absent should tragedy strike at home.
From a natural storyteller Endurance is one of the finest examples the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the boundless wonder of the galaxy.
