Mike Safo with Astronaut Captain, Scott Kelly

Joined today by Astronaut Captain Scott Kelly. In October 2015 he set the record for the total number of days spent in space and the single longest space mission by an American astronaut. We talk about how a book led him on his path to conquer the world of space. Scott tells us about what an “average” day away from earth is like and what it takes to live, function, and survive in outer space.  We hear about the infamous gorilla suit incident, dissecting mice, the smell of space, and the most beautiful site from outer space. From a school in New Jersey being named after him to meeting President Obama. Scott Kelly, a former military fighter pilot, engineer, U.S. Navy Captain and author of the phenomenal books: “ Endurance: My Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery” and “Infinite Wonder”.
