About the Book

From dirt roads to deep space-one man's journey to the stars against all odds.In this stirring memoir, Geoff Yoder shares his remarkable transformation from a struggling farm boy in western Pennsylvania to leading the world's largest civilian space science organization at NASA. Told he would never succeed-and often underestimated-Geoff pressed forward with nothing but grit, faith, and an insatiable curiosity about the universe.Under the Midnight Sky is a beacon for anyone who's ever been told they're not good enough. It's a story about rising beyond low expectations, pushing past painful setbacks, and daring to dream big-even when the world says you shouldn't. From chasing stars in the quiet of rural nights to helping shape space missions that would inspire a nation, Geoff's journey proves that your past doesn't have to define your future.Through raw reflection and hard-won wisdom, this book offers a powerful message: success isn't reserved for the chosen-it belongs to those who refuse to give up.Perfect for dreamers, doers, and anyone ready to believe in their own impossible.



About the Author :
Mr. Yoder retired from NASA in 2016 after a distinguished career spanning leadership roles in both engineering and science. He served as Acting Associate Administrator and Deputy Associate Administrator in the Science Mission Directorate, overseeing a portfolio of over 100 missions, including the groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope. His work touched every corner of NASA's mission-from the Constellation and Commercial Crew programs to iconic observatories like Hubble and Chandra. A lifelong advocate for curiosity and exploration, Mr. Yoder now shares his journey with students, inspiring the next generation to keep asking questions and never stop wondering.

Review :
"With more than 16 years in the industry and 16 years at NASA, Geoff's story is not only of individual success and hard work, but also of NASA's transition to a new era of space exploration, in which he played many key leadership roles. He has accomplished what most of us come here hoping to do-move our mission-and America's space program-forward."-Charles F. Bolden Jr., Former NASA Administrator & Retired Major General"I had the honor of working with Geoff while I was at NASA. He was a constant supporter and advisor on how to navigate NASA and bring greater awareness on the importance of cybersecurity as part of mission delivery. I am forever grateful for his warm welcome! What awaits you in these pages is not merely a collection of words but a pathway to your dreams, even dreams you didn't even know you had. As you stand at this threshold, know that you hold in your hands more than just a book-you hold possibility. In life's journey, remember that your worth is determined not by others' judgments but by your own belief in yourself. The voice inside you that whispers "possible" when everyone else says "impossible" is the one worth heeding.Yet self-belief doesn't mean isolation. Reaching out takes courage and wisdom-there is strength in seeking help when needed. Stay curious. The moment we think we know everything is when we stop growing. Question, explore, wonder. Finally, share what you learn. In teaching, we deepen our own understanding. In mentoring, we create ripples that extend far beyond ourselves. This book is your companion on the path ahead. May it inspire you to believe, connect, question, and uplift others along the way. Turn the page. Your story awaits." Retired NASA Chief Information Officer, Renee Wynn
