Rachel Lyons: Executive Director of Space for Humanity. "To Space, for Earth"
Astronauts return from space with a new understanding of life on Earth - from the environment to politics to humanitarian issues. Rachel Lyons believes this perspective is essential to addressing the challenges we face on our planet and creating a prosperous future for humanity. As a major proponent of advancing space technology and exploration, Rachel is committed to empowering people from diverse backgrounds to broaden their perspectives - both for the future of humanity and for our world today.
In Episode 21, learn more about Space for Humanity's mission to democratize access to space by offering travel at their own expense - where anyone, from any background, can apply for the opportunity to experience the Overview Effect: the cognitive shift in consciousness that occurs when a person looks down on Earth from space.
