About Ready for Launch

Using ten life-changing moments from his path to space, astronaut Scott Kelly shares his advice for mastering fear and failure and turning our daily struggles into rocket fuel for success—the perfect gift for graduations and other milestone moments!

In this insightful and funny read, Scott Kelly shares how a distracted student with poor grades became a record-breaking astronaut and commander of the International Space Station.
 
People think that astronauts are always perfect. “Failure’s not an option,” right? But as Scott shares in his deeply intimate book, he believes that it’s our mistakes and challenges that have the potential to lead to greatness. Not everyone’s road to achievement is a straight line. Most of us need to navigate a bumpier road full of obstacles to get where we want to be.
 
Scott’s story is for everyone who believes that shooting for the stars is beyond their reach!
