Ron Rosano – Live!
Ron Rosano is one of those rare figures who blends lived spaceflight experience with decades of grassroots astronomy education. As the 668th human to travel into space and Virgin Galactic Astronaut #17, he has spent more than 30 years inspiring students around the world through informal astronomy and spaceflight outreach. His work includes creating the Suborbital Flight Journal, contributing as a long time NASA Solar System Ambassador, and leading Galactic Unite Spacechats. These programs have connected tens of thousands of students with astronauts and space professionals. His passion for sharing the wonder of space is matched only by his commitment to making those experiences accessible to learners everywhere.
On 11 February at 7:30 am Sydney time, One Giant Leap Australia will be hosting a very special webinar with Ron. He will be making some ‘out of this world’ announcements that should not be missed! It will be an extraordinary opportunity to hear directly from someone who has not only witnessed Earth from space but has dedicated his life to helping others reach for the stars. The session will explore his journey, his educational outreach, and the future of suborbital flight, with time for participants to ask questions and engage in conversation. It promises to be an energising and insightful start to the day, bringing Ron’s unique blend of expertise, humility, and enthusiasm to our community.
