The Planetary Society Book Club: Dinner With an Astronaut by Leroy Chiao

He'd loved space and engineering from his earliest days. At 29 he was chosen by NASA to become an astronaut. Leroy would spend 229 days living in space, with most of those spent as commander of the International Space Station. His book is the story of the making of that astronaut, his adventures in low-Earth orbit and on the ground, and musings on how we got here and where we're headed. All of these topics and more lift off in a fascinating, fun and informative conversation with the Society's Mat Kaplan.
