With all the recent talk about space tourism and whether or not the “Overview Effect” the personal change one experiences when seeing the Earth from space is worth the money and risk of a ride to space, there is no better person to talk to than former NASA Astronaut and
U.S. Air Force jet pilot Col. Ron Garan. He’s written multiple books on the subject.
For more than a quarter of a century, Garan flew on nearly every modern air and spacecraft in nearly every circumstance imaginable. He was one of the last astronauts to travel to the International Space Station (ISS) on the Space Shuttle, and one of even fewer to ride on both the Shuttle and Russia’s Soyuz rocket (a profound experience for a fighter pilot trained during the Cold War).
