It was during these extended stays in space, experiencing tranquil, unparalleled views of our planet’s surface (in addition to the eventful Soyuz landing) that he came upon the realization which brought him down to earth (literally) and fuels his current mission to resolve the planet’s biggest problems. “It really punches you in the gut when you’re looking at our planet from that vantage point. You can’t help but think that, if we can share this perspective, we can maybe overcome the challenges that we face. That’s one of the big goals.” He adds,” Our world is changing rapidly, and the exponential increases in technological advancements have created a highly interconnected global society. With this new interconnectedness, come new tools that have never existed before. We now live in a world where we have all of the resources and technology necessary to solve many – if not all – of the challenges facing our planet. We now have the means to enable true global collaboration that is both consistent and world changing.”

Garan now shares this perspective with audiences across the globe, utilizing a blend masterful storytelling, inspiring anecdotes, humor and stunning footage (which alone is worth the ride) making the case for worldwide collaboration in an unprecedented era of connectedness (and leading through example by founding the Manna Energy Foundation, which assists the villages of Rwanda to establish potable water supplies).
