The Astronaut Instruction Manual

Author and narrator Mike Mongo says, "You are what you think." And he thinks we're destined to become "humannaires"--civilian space travelers. This "manual" is a practical and motivational handbook designed to help young people fulfill this extraterrestrial destiny. 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. He stresses the cultivation of mental focus, varied experiences, resourcefulness, and commitment. With solid science to back him up, Mongo serves up common-sense advice and thought-provoking perspectives designed to inspire and facilitate a future world in which ordinary people will leave Earth for travel and even settlement in the other parts of the cosmos.
