Book Club Edition: Exploring the Overview Effect with Frank White

Book Club Edition: Exploring the Overview Effect with Frank White

Author Frank White has interviewed well over 100 astronauts. Almost all of them report the sense of awe they experienced as they looked down or back at Earth, and how deeply this has affected their understanding and appreciation of our planet and the Cosmos.
