The Story of Mir, Michael and Me
Updated to include the groundbreaking Hubble spacewalk

This is the gripping story of a real-life space adventure. When British astronaut Michael Foale joined the Russian space station, Mir, he thought it would be nothing more than a routine mission. But within days of his arrival in space, everything started to go wrong. First there was a horrific collision, then a series of computer crashes endangered the lives of the crew inside the ageing station.

Throughout his ordeal, Michael, whose quick thinking and natural leadership undoubtedly saved the day, was in close contact with his family, giving them the exclusive, inside account of the events as they unfolded. Here his father, former RAF pilot Colin Foale, has painted a moving portrait of courage and endurance in the most hostile environment imaginable.

Through Michael's early interest in space, family tragedy, NASA selection and training, this is Michael's extraordinary story as told by the man who knows him best.
