Customer Reviews
Outstanding and fun! True stories from “behind the scenes!” A must watch/listen.
While I’m a bit prejudiced, this is a podcast from a real astronaut. An astronaut who pulls no punches, is honest, and WANTS you to know the inside story of how he came to be. I’m guessing it’s something you never expected to hear, and you’ll love it!
