Space photography, science fiction and growing up in Columbia
Terry Virts may be retired from NASA, but the son of Columbia hasn't stopped sharing his passion for space travel. During more than 200 days living aboard the International Space Station, Virts and other astronauts shot footage for the 2016 IMAX movie "A Beautiful Planet." Meanwhile, Virts was taking thousands of aerial images that would go on to be published in his new photography book, "View From Above," which includes stories of his life in space.
