Curiosity Daily Podcast: The Explorers Club: Richard Garriott

Today, you’ll hear our interview with Richard Garriott, the president of the Explorers Club.

He started out as a video game designer, and as soon as he made enough money, he began investing in human space flight, creating a company called Space Adventures.
