Former NASA astronaut owes his glorious career to Tom Wolfe's book "The Right Stuff.".
According to Scott, this book, which was about America’s early space programs, inspired him to work hard in his studies and to also excel in his career as a NASA astronaut.
“It inspired me to become a fighter pilot in the Navy and, later, a test pilot, and, after that, an astronaut,” Kelly told Fox News.
Scott Kelly was born on February 21, 1964, in West Orange, New Jersey.
He was younger to his twin brother Mark Kelly who also had a successful career with NASA.
Scott and Mark were good players in high school and participated in football, baseball, and other games, according to Space.com.
Kelly advised the young people to find their field of interest first and then work hard to have a rewarding career in that field. »
