Richard Garriott is the first second-generation astronaut, following his father all the way into space. Well-known as a pioneer of video game development, Richard now sits on the NASA advisory committee and is actively working with his peers at the forefront of the space economy. A documentary of his journey, Man on a Mission, debuted at SXSW 2010; we were thrilled to have Richard share his vision at our very own TEDxAustin debut. richardgarriott.com
