You Should Take Better Vacations and Outer Space is the Answer
Tropical turquoise water, sublimely detailed medieval cathedrals, and mountain views…they’re great, but what if there were more exciting ways to vacation? What if you really could take a vacation to outer space without leaving Earth? Would you actually feel that sense of transcendent awe — that cognitive shift in awareness — that astronauts report? Dr. Kirby believes the answer is YES!
He'll show you how to take your next vacation in outer space...without leaving Earth. From the most Moon- and Mars-like landscapes in the American Southwest to floating in space-like weightlessness onboard a Zero Gravity airplane. Best of all, he'll show how you can stay inspired through space exploration in your everyday life.

The Overview Effect at Home: Exploring Otherworldly Terrain With Space Tourists on Earth
Visit the planets without leaving Earth is the calling of Planex, a planetary experience consulting group that provides up-close-and-personal multi-day expeditions to New Mexico’s most space-like landscapes. The selling point is that they’re similar to landforms on the Moon, Mars, Jupiter’s moon Io, and elsewhere in the Solar System, giving tourists a glimpse of what it would be like to trek other worlds.
