Astroblog

Welcome to my AstroBlog.  I occasionally post articles here, and when I do, I send out a notice to my Facebook followers and LinkedIn connections.

For those visitors who haven’t yet read my memoir, Riding Rockets, The Outrageous Tales of a Space Shuttle Astronaut, I would encourage you to do so. It will give you a deeper insight into some of subjects I will be talking about in my writing. Be aware, you might find some parts of my memoir R-rated.

You have several options to order autographed/dedicated copies: from my website Online Store; or, purchase a copy elsewhere and mail it to me for an autograph; or, purchase an autographed/dedicated book label from my website store to paste into a book you already have; or download a copy of the book from Amazon to your e-reader (obviously, no dedication/autograph with that option).

“Until death do us part.”

June 21, 2017 By Mike Mullane

  “Until death do us part.” Most of us have uttered those words, or some version of them, in various wedding rites and, as we did so, we probably gave little thought to the enormity of commitment which they embodied, i.e., to live with somebody forever, as in FOREVER. It was fifty years ago this […]

It was an immensity I first came to appreciate during my rookie […]

Risk: Rockets vs. Donuts

January 28, 2017 By Mike Mullane

Several years ago, after my annual NASA physical exam, the doctor gave me a very definitive number on my risk of staying alive for the next decade, or at least of staying alive in a condition of reasonably good health. Specifically, he said, I have an 8.2 percent risk of suffering a major cardiac event […]
