Loved it! The struggle of keeping up with space news is so relatable. There's so much going on up there (and in research down here). 😅 I also think 80% of this forum wants to go to Mars with her!
I was so excited for this episode! I learned so much from Alyssa’s experience, and it was inspiring to hear her journey. I also loved that Dr. Mindy asked her our questions, like feeling alone in the space industry sometimes—it made the conversation even more relatable and meaningful!
