Mike Masamino served as a NASA astronaut until 2014, traveling to orbit on two missions, both to service the Hubble Space Telescope.

He was the first human to tweet from space, the last to work inside Hubble, and is believed

to be the real life inspiration for George Clooney's role in the film Gravity.

Now he's channeling those experiences and challenges

into a new book titled Moonshot.

What I found out at NASA is working on the Hubble Space

Telescope, I was going to make mistakes,

and I did make mistakes.

But I couldn't ruminate for even a minute.

For example, I stripped a screw while repairing a science instrument on the telescope

and it was a really bonehead move.

They came up with a solution after about an hour or so

of troubleshooting if how we could get around it.

But I thought there was no way to solve this

because it was so simple we had no backup.

Even I couldn't mess it up.

Because it was a really dumb mistake. So what I did,

Morgan, is I took a 30 second time out. 30 seconds of remorse, 30 seconds of

regret, but cap it at 30 seconds. Life lessons from Astro Mike, a success story who would not have been considered, in his own words,

a prime candidate to become an astronaut, but overcame the odds.

What experiences in space can bring to daily living on Earth. I'm Morgan Brennan

and this is manifest space.
