I am so thankful to have watched Luca launch to the International Space Station for this mission live in Kazakhstan with his family and friends. It was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Following his Volare mission for 6 months has been a true privilege, filled with lots of excitement, smiles and some scary times too. I cried watching him land back on earth and reunite with his family. I can’t wait to see him again soon when I visit Houston – hopefully in March!
Watch this video to see a recap of his mission. You can also read some of my past blog posts linked below the video for my reporting of his mission.
