American - (VG)

Occasional Spaceflight


Robie Vaughn and his wife, Fallon, strive to lead by example, whether in business, philanthropy or adventure. “We’d like to show that you can have fun while trying your best,” he says. “That philosophy applies to just about everything in life.” Even spaceflight. Flying aboard VSS Unity was the culmination of a lifelong dream for Robie, who grew up watching Apollo missions, often witnessed from the ground at Cape Canaveral, Florida, with his parents. Since then, he has carried on the tradition by traveling to launches with his wife and children. By going to space, Robie hopes to inspire others to never give up their dreams. “Anything is possible if you will allow it to be so,” he says. His spacesuit displays the USA and state of Texas flags. Onboard ‘Galactic 06,’ he carried a string of flags from his Seven Summits expeditions and photos of his family.
