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.You can learn more about Abby by visiting her website, https://www.astronautabby.comTonight our Dom's Cheese of the Week was Shelburne Farms Smoked Cheddar: https://domscheese.com/product/smoked-shelburne-farms-cheddar/Join the show recording every Thursday at 8pm ET by leaving a voicemail at www.SpaceRadioShow.com.Support the show on Patreon.Follow on Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube.Big thanks to my top Patreon supporters this month: Justin G, Matthew K, Chris L, Barbara K, Duncan M, Corey D, Justin Z, Neuterdude, Nate H, Andrew F, Naila, Aaron S, Scott M, Rob H, David B, Frank T, Tim R, Alex P, Tom Van S, Mark R, Alan B, Craig B, Richard K, Steve P, Dave L, Chuck C, Stephen M, Maureen R, Stace J, Neil P, lothian53 , COTFM, Stephen S, Ken L, Debra S, Alberto M, Matt C, Ron S, Joe R, Jeremy K, David P, Norm Z, Ulfert B, Robert B, Fr.
