In the fall of 2008, history was made as Richard Garriott became the first second generation astronaut.

His trip to the International Space Station was the latest milestone in an amazing career: pioneering game developer, explorer, adventurer, award-winning entrepreneur, and global ambassador for space travel privatization.

Today, Richard is speaking to others about his experiences in space and the obstacles he overcame to achieve his goals. Richard's story is one of adventure, risk, and reward—and it's a message of optimism for anyone who aspires to travel to the final frontier.
