Space Experiences on Earth - Emily Apollonio and Loretta Whitesides

Описание: You don't have to leave the planet to find your place in the cosmos! In this high-energy session, Virgin Galactic Future Astronaut and Yuri's Night founder Loretta Hidalgo Whitesides shares her journey from being inspired by the Overview Effect to building a SpaceKind community rooted in trust and authentic leadership. Joining her is Interstellar Performance Labs CEO Emily Apollonio, who details her transition from elite athlete to analog astronaut, emphasizing the critical importance of safety standards and human factor engineering in isolated, extreme environments. Together, they reveal how Earth-based adventures (ranging from Zero-G parabolas and deep-sea dives to desert analogs) serve as a powerful "stress test for the soul," teaching us to "play better with others" and master the "New Right Stuff" of vulnerable communication. Whether you are curious about the World’s Biggest Analog or simply want to fall in love with your home planet by sleeping under the stars, this discussion proves that space preparation starts from within. Watch the recording now to launch your own hero's journey and discover why the human is the most vital piece of machinery in space exploration.
