An epic memoir from a man whose life is defined by exploration and innovation, The Sky Below re-creates a few of the most unforgettable adventures of the time. From remarkable, high-risk spacewalks to creator Scott Parazynski's death-defying pursuit to summit Support Everest - his body ravaged with a career in space - listeners will go through the life of an elite athlete, physician, and explorer. This intimate, persuasive bill offers a uncommon family portrait of space exploration from the inside. A global nomad brought up in the shadow of NASA's Apollo missions, Parazynski never lost look of his childhood dream to one day don a spacesuit and float outside the airlock. With profound passion, unbridled imagination, resilience, humility, and self-deprecation, Parazynski chases his dream of the ultimate experience experience, again and again and again. In an era that transitioned from moon photos to the Space Shuttle, space place, and Mars research, Parazynski flies with John Glenn, tests jet packs, trains in Russia to become cosmonaut, and flies five missions to outer space (including seven spacewalks) in his seventeen-year NASA career. An unrivaled, visceral opportunity to know very well what it's prefer to teach for - and deploy to - a home in zero gravity, The Sky Below also portrays an astronaut's proposal with the issues of his life on the planet, including raising a lovely autistic princess and finding real love.
