What it's like to go to space as a tourist?

On August 10, newbie astronauts Keisha Schahaff, 46, and Anastatia Mayers, 18, made history as the two flew outside Earth's atmosphere with Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson's space tourism company. “Looking back on our planet, I felt this deeper connection to love. I did not feel myself as an individual. I could actually see and feel everything that we are. It almost feels like gravity is what sets the thoughts in our mind. Without that gravity, I felt like I was timeless—all I had was awe,” Schahaff continued.
