Astronaut Scott Kelly: How I went from bad student to space star

Retired astronaut Scott Kelly and chemical engineer Jayshree Seth address the shocking statistic that almost 40 percent of people believe science doesn't impact their lives. Former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly says that he owes his storied space career to Tom Wolfe's book "The Right Stuff," which he read when he was 18. Kelly, who read the novel while studying at State University of New York Maritime College in the Bronx, admits that he was a poor student until finding inspiration in the famous book about the early U.S. space program. "It inspired me to become a fighter pilot in the Navy and, later, a test pilot, and, after that, an astronaut," he told Fox News. "It just shows that with some inspiration and some hard work you can later achieve some pretty significant things." After his selection by NASA in 1996, and over the next 20 years, Kelly served as a Space Shuttle pilot and commander and spent two stints on the International Space Station.
