This week we talk to Frank White, the space philosopher who first coined the term the ‘overview effect’ which describes the experience astronauts get when they see Earth from space.

Frank is the author of a number of incredible books but his best known work is called “The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution” - the fourth edition was publishing in 2019 and features interviews with 31 astronauts.
