Summary
Ryan Richmond has dreamed about going to
space since the age of seven. Reading space updates—and
seeing pictures of Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface in
National Geographic—was the ignition of this dream. At
nineteen he sold his first company and employed the remnants of
the Russian Space Program, three of the best space brains in
the world. In his twenties he founded and sold two more
companies and hired the most outstanding scientists and
engineers from the European Space Authority. During his
thirties, after selling his third company, he invested heavily
in Internet start-ups, like Google, netting billions. Then he
patiently waited until NASA’s shuttle program came to an
end and contracted the best brains in the U.S. Space program.
Now, Ryan Richmond is in his fifties, has angered, fought with,
and shot at many of the World’s most powerful countries
from Space, and is not welcome in the Northern Hemisphere. Ryan
doesn’t really care, as he is millions of miles away,
enjoying himself flying around the solar system, and about to
return to Planet Earth.
