Join The Explorers Club on Monday, December 4th to hear from renowned NASA astronaut Mike Massimino – he will share stories and insights from his time on the NASA program, as well as discuss his new book Moonshot.

 

Mike Massimino achieved his dream of exploring space. In MOONSHOT: A NASA Astronaut’s Guide to Achieving the Impossible, he will turn his experience from working with NASA into an actionable guide to accomplish your biggest goals. Mike reveals how to make possible the seemingly impossible—on Earth. Written with characteristic wit and a big heart, Mike identifies ten hard-earned lessons of spaceflight and his other life experiences, including:

• One in a Million Is Not Zero: The odds are against you. Do it anyway.
• The Thirty-Second Rule: You’re going to make mistakes. Learn how to deal with them.
• Be Amazed: The universe is an incredible place. Stop what you’re doing and look around.
• Know When to Pivot: Change is inevitable. Accept and embrace it.

We all have our own personal “moon shots” we’d like to take in life, but as mission control will tell you, doing one big thing really means getting a thousand little things right along the way. Moonshot is the book that will show you how to do just that, and help set you on the right path to achieve your own personal and professional dreams.

This event will include an audience Q&A. Books will be available for purchase, and their will be a book signing after the talk at 8PM.

 


Streaming live here on explorers.org, our YouTube Channel, and our Facebook Live — Monday, December 4th at 7:00 pm ET.
