Mike Massimino (@Astro_Mike) is the astronaut who sent the first tweet from space and one of the few spacefarers we’ve had on this show! He’s the author of Spaceman: An Astronaut’s Unlikely Journey to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe. [Note: this is a rebroadcast from the vault.]

  • Why assembling a team around you is crucial for success — whether orbiting or staying on the surface of the planet.
  • Why it’s important to take small, deliberate steps in the right direction for the sake of your own happiness.

  • Why even astronauts have imposter syndrome.
  • And much more...
