SR 136: "Dream Big!" with Abigail "Astronaut Abby" Harrison

This week I spent an amazing half hour chatting with Abigail
"Astronaut Abby" Harrison about her first book "Dream Big! How to
REACH for your STARS," the future of human spaceflight to the
Moon and Mars, Perseverance's upcoming Mars landing, and much
more!


Abigail Harrison, aka "Astronaut Abby," dreams of being an
astronaut. But her dreams don't stop there — she dreams of
becoming the first astronaut to travel to Mars, and she is well
on her way to achieving that goal. When she was 18, she founded
the Mars Generation, a 5013c nonprofit, to help educate and
excite people of all ages about space exploration and STEM
education.


Abby graduated from Wellesley College in 2019 with degrees in
Biology and Russian, and plans to enter graduate school in the
fall of 2021. Her first book, "Dream Big! How to Reach for Your
Stars," has just been published by Penguin Random House.
