“The fundamental idea behind Space Perspective is to give the quintessential astronaut experience to as many people as possible. So, if you talk with astronauts about what’s the quintessential experience, you’ll never hear them say, “Oh, it’s the rocket ride,” or “It’s the high speed, hypersonic re-entry.” You don’t even hear much about microgravity and floating around – it sort of becomes characterized as a pain. What you hear is, “Oh, I would spend every minute I possibly could looking out the window, looking at the earth in the context of space, and ideas like the one human family, and all of us on this small planet together, and the scale of the planet,” says MacCallum.
