On the beat all summer from outer space to South Africa, RVA Magazine has heard Virginian voices from around the world and here at home. 

In this issue, we stargaze with astronauts, follow Richmonders to the street art of Johannesburg with RVA Global, and catch up with locals from social movements to national boxing champs.
