aislamiento de todas las comodidades terrestres, los catastroficos riesgos de
chocar con basura espacial y, aun peor, la amenaza angustiosa de ser incapaz
de ayudar si algo malo ocurre en casa.
En Resistencia, la humanidad, la compasion, el sentido de humor, el
entusiasmo y la determinacion de este heroe moderno resuenan en cada una de
sus palabras. Su cautivador mensaje es una fuente de inspiracion para
generaciones futuras y su relato personal conforma un libro ejemplar sobre el

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for
consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few
have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly hostile to human life. He
describes navigating the extreme challenges of long-term spaceflight-the
devastating effects on the body, the isolation from everyone he loves and the
comforts of Earth, the pressures of constant close cohabitation, and the
catastrophic risks of depressurization or colliding with space junk. But
perhaps the most haunting challenge is that of being unable to help should
tragedy strike at home, something Kelly knows about firsthand.
Kelly’s humanity, compassion, humor, and passion resonate throughout, as he
recalls his rough-and-tumble New Jersey childhood and the youthful
inspiration that sparked his astounding career. Here, in his personal story,
we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will,
and the infinite wonder of the galaxy.
