Description: A belief that exploration expands the boundaries of who we are as people, and unites us all at the same time, is why Jessica Watkins is so excited for her first spaceflight on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station. Join her for the story of how her childhood interest in being an astronaut, and finding her passion for geology in college, led her to being chosen as an astronaut and now to becoming the first Black woman to be a long-duration station crew member. _______________________________________ FOLLOW THE SPACE STATION!
