An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me... by



Over the holiday weekend I listened to this audiobook while traveling.  The audiobook is narrated by the author whose speech patterns are somewhat like Walter White.

Pros
  • Fascinating -- about space and the author's career path to get to there
  • Interesting technical descriptions that aren't loaded with jargon
  • Describes the role his family plays in his career
  • Takes lessons learned from space exploration and applies to daily life
  • Hadfield's sense of humor adds a levity to the text

Cons
  • Regional use of on vs. in is distracting
  • Some content is mildly repetitive

I'd love to read Hadfield's review of Andy Weir's The Martian.
