From Ohio.
Into the unknown.
Welcome from my home state of Ohio, home to aviation and spaceflight pioneers: the Wright brothers, John Glenn, and Neil Armstrong.
Their journeys helped open the skies and carry us into space. Now, allow me to introduce Sarah Vance, Kaelen Vane, and Chen Lee, whose journeys offer a smorgasbord of adventures among the stars.
The table is set. Come along for the adventure—and feed your inner geek.
