I’ve started a writing project on a subject that I’ve geekily adored since I was a kid: Space. As in, the final frontier. Here are three pieces I’ve written about space-themed tourism on Perceptive Travel in February and March of 2011, with more to come. A Traveler in Space: The Johnson Space Center in Houston, [...]
