Learn the NASA Astronaut mindset to solve problems, provide leadership in the face of adversity, and never give up on the pursuit of your wildest dreams.
Mike Massimino achieved his dream of exploring space—now he distills stories and insights from 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 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.

Mike Massimino served as a NASA Astronaut from 1996-2014 and flew in space twice: STS-109 on space shuttle Columbia in March 2002 and STS-125 on space shuttle Atlantis in May 2009—the final two Hubble Space Telescope servicing missions. He became the first human to tweet from space, was the last human to work inside of Hubble, and set a team record with his crewmates for the most cumulative spacewalking time in a single space shuttle mission. He received his BS from the Columbia University School of Engineering and his two MS degrees and PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is an engineering professor at Columbia University and an advisor at the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum
