Man on a Mission

Best known as the father of early computer RPGs like Ultima and Tabula Rasa, Richard Garriott always wanted to follow in his astronaut father’s footsteps. But when eye problems made a career at NASA impossible, he turned to private space travel to make his dream come true. Man On A Mission captures everything from Garriott’s training in Russia, to his launch aboard the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, life aboard the International Space Station, and his capsule’s fiery re-entry to Earth.
