The James Altucher Show

It took Mike Massimino 11 years to achieve his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut. He was rejected 3 times. But he never stopped his pursuit to achieve his dream. He writes about it in his New York Times bestselling book "Spaceman: An Astronaut's Unlikely Journey to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe". This is Mike's 2nd time on the podcast and I wanted to ask him all the questions that have stuck with me ever since that first interview. Like how he kept trying even after that 1st rejection.   Links and Resources Spaceman: An Astronaut's Unlikely Journey to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe by Mike Massimino Also Mentioned The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe The Right Stuff (the movie) Jurassic Park Science Channel Neil deGrasse Tyson's Podcast, StarTalk Radio StarTalk on the National Geographic Channel The Planets and Beyond on Science Channel One Strange Rock on the National Geographic Channel The Big Bang Theory Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum Elon Musk Jeff Bezos Richard Branson    I write about all
