What seemed like science fiction years ago is reality today. Space tourism is no longer just a dream. But you don’t even have to leave Earth, or have millions of dollars, to have a once-in-a-lifetime astronaut experience. Roman Chiporukha, CEO of SpaceVIP, explains what he calls “New Space” and why everyone needs to learn “universal space literacy”, covers how cutting-edge space tech is being used on Earth, talks Space Force, UFOs, and how COVID give us hope for future space collaboration, and shares some of the amazing adventures his company provides, from the ocean depths, to experiencing weightlessness, and yes, voyaging to the International Space Station.  It’s an out-of-this-world interview!
