What would it take to get paid to go to outer space for your job? In this powerful Think Unbroken conversation, Christopher “Chuie” Huie shares how he went from feeling lost to flying to space with Virgin Galactic and turning audacious dreams into reality. Christopher breaks down his unexpected journey into aerospace engineering, how he joined Richard Branson’s spaceflight company Virgin Galactic, and what it was really like to be selected as a test customer and launched on a suborbital spaceflight.
