10, 9, 8, 7…. As blast-off for family vacation gets closer, you may want to think “out of this world.” Space travel, to earth orbit and beyond, is opening a whole new chapter of commercial tourism
NATJA Member Lisa Sonne has been covering Space Travel for over two decades including going weightless with cosmonauts over Star City in Russia on a LIFE magazine assignment, helping land a space shuttle with moonwalker John Young (in the astronaut’s simulator at Johnson Space Center,) getting Carl Sagan to sign a tile from the Space Shuttle and interviewing the latest host of COSMOS Neil deGrasse Tyson for an essay she wrote to accompany a special edition of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic Wrinkle in Time. Some of Sonne’s space writing is available on her website www.WorldTouristBureau.com under Space Travel.
