After spending five months aboard the Russian Space station Mir, Capt. Linenger endured brushes with death, and shared a moving account of his experiences above Earth with attendees.

Attendees laughed, cried, and followed along to his amazing and moving story of his time in space and what it was like to return back to Earth. At the end of his presentation, Capt. Linenger encouraged attendees to wake up every morning, take a big deep breath (of "Earth oxygen" as he put it), and be grateful for another day that you were given on this great, beautiful Earth.
