Piece Description
For many, space travel is the stuff of childhood dreams, a fleeting fancy that may lead to a week at space camp or an extensive collection of space adventure movies. But for retired pharmacist and businessman, Steve LeVerdiere, this is a childhood dream he would never outgrow. Now, with the recent expansion of the space tourism industry, Steve's dream will finally become a reality.
