Leadership Lessons From Outer Space Basically its about Terry Virts, International Space Station Commander. Terry discusses with professors and students at a Harvard Business School. He gives this important piece of advice. "You have to adapt your leadership style to the situation you're in. In his case, he has a elite crew in his space station who can work their magic best when not meddled with. However, he says if you are for example a Marine Liutenant with a team of New Cadets you have to take a different approach. Its all about flexibility. Virt talked about how amazing the central African thunderstorms are. They are literally so bright, they light up the space station from Earth. If the expectations for space tourism are met, he expects the prices to decrease. When asked about the risk of space debris collision, it was explained that the risk is almost non-existent because of how much space there is in space. When asked what amazes him the most about space, he said the simplest things are the ones that always get to him. For example, A trashbag invented by the Russians that is not hindered by the weightless enviroment in space. In the end, the interviewer brought a suprise to Virt which consisted of a suprise appearance by his mother and his step-father, which came all the way just to see him.
