Sponsored jointly by the Space Frontier Foundation and The World Space Center, this one day event was devoted to the Overview Effect. Frank White wrote the book The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution (2nd Ed.) and he describes the phenomenon as follows:

"The Overview Effect is the experience of seeing the Earth from a distance, especially from orbit or the Moon, and realizing the inherent unity and oneness of everything on the planet. The Effect represents a shift in perception wherein the viewer moves from identification with parts of the Earth to identification with the whole system.” – Frank White

The conference sessions dealt with the various aspects fo the Effect rsuch as first hand descriptions of it from astronaut Edgar Mitchell, ,discussion of neuralogical changes that it might involve, and how super realistic simulations of spaceflight might bring it to the masses who cannot travel to space.
