Former NASA astronaut Cady Coleman shares the wisdom that helped her overcome the barriers of others’ expectations—and how to work on a team both in close quarters and remotely.

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 and elite environments, including grappling with her own doubts and needing to overturn the expectations of others, Coleman became a success story in a role that wasn’t built with her in mind—a mother who is also an astronaut, scientists, Air Force pilot, and leader.  Her determination and her amazing experiences give her a unique perspective on how to set yourself up for success, and on life here on Earth.

In Sharing Space, Cady shares counterintuitive insights integral to her success, such as how to leverage insecurities to beat expectations, how to know when to adapt and when to instead press for change, and how to be the glue that holds a disparate team together so it can be shaped 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 (unfairly) placed or to develop the confidence to succeed, even when they’re not an obvious “fit.”

Catherine Coleman is a chemist, an engineer, a former United States Air Force colonel, and a retired NASA astronaut. She is also now a highly regarded media adviser and on-air expert, known for her STEM/STEAM advocacy. Most recently Coleman co-anchored Netflix and Time’s livestream coverage of the SpaceX launch of four civilians into space (she had helped coach them) and, as a regular ABC contributor, co-anchored its special reports covering the SpaceX launches and the Perseverance Mars rover landing.
