Richard Garriott used slides as he talked about his 12-day trip into space. When the Russian Soyuz TMA-13 launched October 12, 2008, he became the sixth private citizen to fly into orbit and the first American second-generation space traveler. The son of an astronaut, he talked about his Apollo-inspired generation that went into tech industries.

This was a session of the Explorer Club’s annual “Space Stories” program.. close
