Astronaut Ron Garan: Earthgazing 101
"For the first 15 years of my adult life, I trained to fight the Russians as a fighter pilot during the Cold War. On April 4th, 2011, two and a half decades after joining the U.S. Air Force, I stood at the base of a rocket that would take me and my two Russian crewmates into space from the same launchpad as Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space, fifty years before."
Join Ron Garan as he recounts the life changing experience of travelling to the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz rocket and seeing the Earth for the first time, along with director Guy Reid (Planetary) and moderated by Jeremy Boxer (former Creative Director at Vimeo).
