Ron Rosano recently flew into space with Virgin Galactic on the #Galactic04 mission! But commercial space flight with Virgin Galactic is just the beginning for Ron. He’s got plans to fly with Blue Origin, Space Perspective, and World View in the near future, and believes OUR time in space is just around the corner…
Listen as Ron describes his recent space flight experience and his family’s reaction to getting the big news… In this episode, Ron takes Beth on a journey back to his childhood, sharing his profound fascination with space that started with simple stargazing. From those early moments of wonder to soaring among the stars – Ron Rosano recounts his lifelong love affair with space. He also shares how he prepared for his Virgin Galactic flight, and the profound impact of viewing Earth from space.
