2:30pm Presentation in Mission Briefing Center
Book Signing in Front of Space Center Houston Store Immediately Following Presentation
Join us for a presentation in our Mission Briefing Center Theater with former NASA Astronaut, Dr. Cady Coleman. Dr. Coleman will be sharing her experience of what it is like to live and work in space as well as talking about her book Sharing Space: An Astronaut’s Guide to Mission, Wonder, and Making Change. Following the presentation, she will be signing books in the Main Plaza in front of the Space Center Houston Store. Copies of the book will be available for purchase in the Space Center Houston Store. You are also welcome to bring in your own copy from home.
About Sharing Space
In Sharing Space, Cady shares counterintuitive insights integral to her success, such as how to know when to adapt and when to press for change instead, how to leverage insecurities to beat expectations, and how to be the glue that holds a disparate team together, shaping it to thrive. Illustrated with stories from her life and training, Cady takes readers from meteorite hunting in Antarctica to launching a $1.6 billion telescope into space to the wonder of spending six months living and working in zero gravity. This book will inspire anyone eager to escape a box in which they have been (wrongly) placed and to develop the confidence to succeed, even when they’re not an obvious “fit.”
About Dr. Cady Coleman
In 2010, Cady Coleman boarded a rocket and blasted off into space for her third NASA mission, a six-month expedition to the International Space Station where she was the only woman on her six-person crew. After years spent overcoming obstacles in competitive, high-performance environments, including grappling with her own doubts and training in a spacesuit that was too big, Coleman became a success story in a role that wasn’t built with her in mind—an astronaut who is also a mother, Air Force colonel, scientist, and leader. Her determination and amazing experiences give her a unique perspective on how to set yourself up for success, in space and here on Earth.
