516: Mike Massimino | Unlocking Science Secrets with an Unlikely Spaceman

Mike Massimino (@Astro_Mike) is the astronaut who sent the first tweet from space and one of the few spacefarers we’ve had on this show! He’s the author of Spaceman: An Astronaut’s Unlikely Journey to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe. [Note: this is a rebroadcast from the vault.]

• Why even astronauts have imposter syndrome.
