" The Ultraview Effect fills a crucial gap in our understanding of outer space and our need as a species to get out there. It shines a clear and persuasive light on why we need to go beyond this planet and serves as a psychological blueprint, or libretto, for how we make that happen."--Paul Levinson, coeditor of Touching the Face of the Cosmos: On the Intersection of Space Travel and Religion "Deana Weibel has put into words the fascinating perspective that I and other astronauts have had the privilege of witnessing. Looking beyond the beauty of Earth, out into the vastness of the universe, gave me a humbling glimpse into the possibilities that lie far beyond our oasis in the cosmic ocean."--John B. Herrington, retired United States Naval Aviator and former NASA astronaut " The Ultraview Effect provides a window into the dizzying vastness of the cosmos, while revealing the value of curiosity and awe in our everyday lives here on Earth."--Erika Nesvold, author of Off-Earth: Ethical Questions and Quandaries for Living in Outer Space "Awe is the fuel that powers our exploration of space. Humility keeps us grounded during the effort.

The Ultraview Effect shows their importance in the space program and provides candid astronaut testimony and analysis of both these vital emotions. For the rest of us, Weibel provides helpful guidance on how to bring awe and humility into our own lives back on Earth and use it to energize our own exploratory spirit."--Jon Lomberg, Design Director for NASA's Voyager Golden Record "How do you express the inexpressible? The Ultraview Effect explores our shared human desire to transform brief flashes of insight and awe into a deeper understanding of our place in the grand scheme of the universe."--Jonathan H. Ward, coauthor of Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars: The Story of the First American Woman to Command a Space Mission.
