Spaceman: An Astronaut's Unlikely Journey to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe
by Mike Massimino, Tanner Colby
The first astronaut's memoir I've read (or listened to anyway). Overall I liked it, even if the main character annoyed me at times. My main complaint, that I think I'll run into with almost any book like this, was a lack of technical detail and an oversimplification of complex issues. I realize that it's a general audience book but I feel like it could have done more to go into some of the interesting technical details that the author is certainly deeply familiar with. Overall though it was a great trip through the life of a modern astronaut with a lot of lovely details about the modern space program and amazing things like spacewalking on Hubble. I also appreciated the narration by the author. When done well, as this was, it gives a very interesting additional layer to the text.
