NEW YORK, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – A newly released memoir is offering a rare and compelling look at the human side of space exploration—beyond the missions and into the lives surrounding astronauts.

My Time with Astronauts by Faby Kushner, released March 27, 2026, draws on her 20 years in astronaut support, working alongside Canadian and American astronauts through mission preparation, launches, and their return to everyday life on Earth.

While astronauts are widely recognized for their achievements in space, Kushner’s memoir focuses on what is rarely seen—the people, the pressure, and the realities behind the missions.

“The world sees heroes,” Kushner says. “I saw what happens long before and after they come home.”

Through candid storytelling, the book explores both the intensity of mission environments and the responsibility carried by those supporting astronauts in one of the world’s most demanding fields.

Public interest in space continues to grow, reflected in strong early reader engagement, including a recent book signing that sold out in under three hours.
