February 2025 Book Club: Astronaut Nicole Stott on the Novel ORBITAL

Orbital is the beautiful novel about 24 hours in the lives of six astronauts on board the International Space Station. Beautiful, yes, but is it accurate? Nicole Stott lived on the ISS.  She says YES, almost without exception. Host Mat Kaplan also talks with Nicole about her own book, Back to Earth, a terrific, non-fiction complement to Samantha Harvey's fictional tale. Their conversation covers much more, including Nicole's creation of art in space.
