About this episode

Many of us grew up dreaming of becoming astronauts, picturing ourselves floating among the stars. In today’s world, making that dream a reality is no longer the destiny of the select few. With private companies like Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic making space travel accessible, anyone can now touch the cosmos. Join host Nirmal John as he sits down with Michael Edmonds of Blue Origin and Gopichand Thotakura, India’s first civilian astronaut, to discuss how you too can fly to space.
