Join me in reliving my experience on a space themed voyage in Antarctica with fellow space enthusiasts. The video and photos include comments by our speakers on board. The space legends included: William Shatner, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, astronauts: Jose Hernandez, Scott Kelly, and Charlie Duke, along with Ann Curry and Celine Cousteau. We explored several islands via wet and dry landings. Of course, we could never get tired learning about and watching those adorable penguins amongst the icebergs surrounding us.
