“Mike Mongo’s passion for human spaceflight leaps off every page of this inspirational book…a bright-eyed guide to the basics of thinking and living like a space explorer, whether off-world or right here on Earth.” —Lee Billings, contributor to Scientific American and author of Five Billion Years of Solitude
“A fantastic and vibrant preparatory guide for today’s youth―whether their futures are off in space or right here.” —Lori Garver, Air Line Pilots Association general manager and former NASA deputy administrator

“Mongo’s passion for his topic is evident in his enthusiastic reading. His zeal is infectious, and it’s hard not to be inspired by his staunch support of space travel.” —AudioFile
