During his record-breaking 340-day “Year in Space” mission, Captain Scott Kelly captured global attention while advancing the science necessary for human survival in the deep reaches of the solar system. His extraordinary journey, which spanned more than 140 million miles, offers powerful insights into leadership, resilience, and the biological limits of human endurance. These lessons are now the foundation for the next generation of explorers who aim to step foot on the lunar surface and beyond.

Now, for the first time, Australian audiences have the opportunity to hear directly from the man behind the mission. In this compelling live event, Kelly shares unforgettable stories from his time aboard the International Space Station. He will provide practical lessons on teamwork, perseverance, and achieving success under the extreme pressure of an environment where failure is not an option.

A veteran test pilot and spaceflight record holder, Kelly has logged over 15,000 flight hours across more than 40 aircraft and spacecraft. Over the course of his career, he has orbited Earth over 8,000 times and traveled more than 200 million miles beyond our planet. His mission served as a vital bridge between the era of Low Earth Orbit and the current "Moon to Mars" objectives that dominate the scientific landscape today.

He is a highly sought-after speaker who inspires audiences worldwide with his unique perspective on pushing boundaries and performing at the highest level. He is also the author of multiple New York Times bestselling books, including Endurance: A Year in Space, a Lifetime of Discovery, Infinite Wonder, and Ready for Launch: An Astronaut's Lessons for Success on Earth.
