Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In 2001, millionaire Dennis Tito became the first private space tourist. Since then, Space Adventures, the company that arranged his trip on a Russian spacecraft, has sent five people into space. We talk with the CEO of Space Adventures and the next space tourist Richard Garriott about private space ventures and the future of private citizens in space.
