Summary

What effect does space travel have on humans beyond the physical? Space Philosopher Frank White wrote the first edition of “The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution” in 1987. He has spoken to over 50 astronauts to date and has studied the cognitive shift that results when viewing the Earth from space. But do commercial astronauts experience this on suborbital flights? We ask the expert.

You can connect with Frank on LinkedIn and find out more about his books on his website.
