Sky Walking: An Astronaut's Memoir

What's it like to fly the space shuttle? What goes into the work on and in the International Space Station? Veteran NASA astronaut Tom Jones is uniquely qualified to give the details and is now here to share his story. From four space shuttle missions and three space walks and a background in planetary science, Jones was unequivocally prepared for the space shuttle - right up until the Challenger exploded. Jones candidly explains the personal and professional hardships faced by astronauts after the 1986 tragedy, the professional and personal risks and realities he and his colleagues had to contend with, and what is needed for a successful course in space.
