In this special episode, we talk with former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino, who will be a keynote speaker at our Annual Conference on April 1. After two missions to the Hubble Telescope and four space walks to make critical repairs to the telescope, Mike explains how seeing the earth from space gave him a unique perspective on the fragility of the planet and a better understanding of its important role in keeping us alive and fed. He explains how growing food in space is a particular challenge, but he highlights that it demonstrates similar issues to growing food in areas of the world where resources, such as water, are limited. This is an inspiring discussion with someone who has experienced the awe and beauty of the planet from the frontier of space.
