The example of astronaut Kelly – 07-30-2018

The story could begin with the life-changing books of some who later help to change the lives of others. This came to Scott Kelly, the American astronaut who has been the longest in space.

Few days less than a year in the International Space Station. Manufacturing of a human Indian rabbit and orbiting the Earth at about 28,000 kilometers at the time . Most of the time, alone.

Until the age of 18, he was lost in another space, the inner space. It was a terrible student, with no horizon and no compbad. I did not know what I wanted and I did not learn to pay attention to anything. He became a paramedic for to feel that life made sense and he wanted to study medicine, a boredom. The Kelly family was from the lower clbad of New Jersey. The father, the policeman and the drunkard

One day he met the elect for glory, what you must have, Tom Wolfe, the dandy white suit and brilliant columnist who revolutionized the journalistic bureau in the 60s.

The book turned its head . Wolfe investigated the protagonists of the space race: astronauts from the world of the pilot pilots. Types that according to Wolfe have had what you need to have: courage, dexterity and humor. Without wishing to be Wolfe, Kelly has just released his book, Resistance. The story of his life and his amazing experiences.

Scott sought to enter a few institutes to jump into the Naval Force but his bad grades could be over and he was been rejected. Until he managed to sneak into a military academy.

The story of Scott has a parallel protagonist: his twin brother Mark. In different ways, both became astronauts . A rarity that helped NASA make Mark the same in-depth medical study as Scott when he did more than 5,500 rounds around the Earth.

Another rarity: Scott had been detected after the second of his four trips in the space of D & C Prostate cancer.And what did the check do to your twin? An equal tumor, but on the other side of the prostate.

Nothing n? had managed to stop Scott's decision to be an astronaut.Nor cancer either.The record in space was reached after being exploited. Again, what was needed

For anyone, only one of these 340 days will be it's a torment, not to mention the fear and starting with takeoff: the Soyuz that leads to the station rises up to 25 times the speed of sound. And more than stuck, Scott walked these 10 hours plugged into a bespoke seat, with a cast of his body. With a diaper and at the beginning in fetal position and wrapped in a tight suit that caused pain and cramps and even with help it took him two hours to put it on him

On the floor, the prolonged stay wreaked havoc. The bone mbad is lost, the muscles atrophy and the blood is redistributed and forces the walls of the heart to contract. Scott suffered vision problems and was exposed to radiation 30 times higher than the one we received on Earth. How to get 10 chest X-rays a day, which increases the risk of another cancer for the rest of his life.

Kelly started her journey well before leaving for paradise on this ship. When he changed and learned to overcome. Resilience calls this ability to overcome obstacles and find strength where there seems to be only weakness. We are all travelers in space . It's to be alive here on Earth. And we are all lost several times. The merit is to find the way. This is the example of Kelly.
