A HEART FOR SPACE

An astronaut’s guide to achieving the impossible

In this deeply inspiring book, part memoir, part guide; astronaut and cardiologist Dr. Eiman Jahangir invites readers into a journey shaped by war, rejection, loss, and an unshakable belief in possibility. Born in Tehran during the Iran–Iraq War and raised in Nashville, Jahangir grew up gazing at the night sky with two impossible dreams: to become a doctor and to travel to space.

After multiple NASA finalist rounds, he faced a choice familiar to anyone who has dared greatly: shrink the dream or redefine the path. In the new era of commercial spaceflight, he chose the latter. On August 29, 2024, he became the first Iranian American man to travel to space, proving that the road to extraordinary achievement is rarely straight.

Interwoven throughout his story are eight compelling interviews with modern space pioneers, including current NASA administrator Jared Isaacman; Nicole Stott; Sian Proctor; Kellie Gerardi; Hayley Arceneaux; Eytan Stibbe; Chris Huie; and Drew Gaffney. More than a space memoir, this book offers a hard-earned blueprint for purposeful living.

A LITTLE LOVE FROM OUR READERS

  • Growing up in Iran before the Islamic revolution, Eiman and I shared a world that would soon be transformed beyond recognition—yet even then, there was something in him that refused to be earthbound. As fellow physicians, we both dedicated our lives to healing, and while my own path led me to NASA, Eiman's relentless pursuit of the stars ultimately carried him to space aboard a Blue Origin suborbital flight, making him the first physician to travel on a commercial spacecraft. A Heart for Space is the remarkable account of that journey: part memoir, part manifesto for anyone who has ever been told their dream is out of reach. Do yourself a favor and get a copy; it will remind you that the impossible is simply the not-yet-attempted!
