Clayton Anderson Biography

Clayton Anderson, often known as "Nebraska's Astronaut," was born in Omaha and raised in Ashland. He now resides near Omaha, Nebraska, with his wife Susan. Having retired in 2013 after a 30-year career with NASA, Anderson has spent a total of 167 days in space. His tenure included living on the International Space Station for over five months in 2007 and serving as a Mission Specialist aboard the Discovery with the STS-131 Space Shuttle crew in 2010.

A skilled spacewalker, Anderson spent nearly 40 hours in the vacuum of space, assisting in the construction of the space station during six spacewalks. This achievement places him in the top 40 on the world’s cumulative all-time spacewalk record list. Anderson joined NASA's Johnson Space Center in 1983, where he held various roles, including Manager of the Emergency Operations Center and Chief of the Flight Design Branch, before being selected as a Mission Specialist in June 1998 after 15 attempts over 15 years.

Anderson has authored four books, with a fifth forthcoming, and has been featured in the Nebraska Educational Television (NET) documentary "Homemade Astronaut." He has also appeared on the History Channel's "Only in America" with Larry the Cable Guy, the Travel Channel's "Armed and Ready" with Kevin Connolly, and "Off Limits" with Don Wildman, as well as The Science Channel's "Secret Space Escapes." Currently, Anderson shares his experiences through keynote presentations, focusing on perseverance, teamwork, and leadership. His approach emphasizes the values of hard work, persistence, and moral development, delivered with a blend of humor, honesty, and engaging storytelling.

Clayton Anderson Speaking Topics

For the Beauty of the Earth

Spending 152 days floating above our beautiful planet changes one’s “orbital” perspective of the spaceship we call Earth. Through photos taken during his expedition to the International Space Station (ISS), Anderson provides an entertaining and reflective discussion of life onboard the United States’ most complex technical achievement. Beginning by involving the audience in a “pseudo” game of Jeopardy and the category of “US and World Geography for $5000,” the presentation focuses on how this life changing experience led to a strengthening of his personal faith.
“Never a Commander, Always a Leader”

A two-time Shuttle and ISS Astronaut, logging over 167 days living and working in outer space, Anderson was never allowed the coveted slot of Mission Commander. Undaunted by this apparent management oversight, Anderson’s career reflects consistent leadership in all facets of his NASA career. Through the process of pursuing his lifelong dream of preparing to live and work in space, fertile ground is provided for developing and enhancing one’s personal management and leadership style. Through his unique on-orbit perspective, Anderson offers three simple leadership tenets that could prove helpful to you and your organization as you tackle your future successes!

“The Dream of a Lifetime”

Hop into the flight suit pocket of US Astronaut, Clayton Anderson, and learn about the journey of this small-town Nebraska boy who spent 167 days living and working in space. Anderson, who was “kicked to the curb” by NASA 14 times before his ultimate selection, went on to become a veteran spacewalker ranked 28th on the world’s list, with nearly 40 hours working in the vacuum of space over 6 spacewalks,

Anderson’s story of humility, perseverance and hard work gives a unique personal perspective into his life and an openly human look at what it takes to be a successful “steely-eyed astronaut”. Entertaining and informative, Anderson will challenge attendees to examine how they may apply the same concepts to their everyday work and personal lives.
