Episode 48 – The Road to Mars with Astronaut Abby

The Jackson Hole Connection

In this week’s episode of the Jackson Hole Connection, Stephan visits with Abby Harrison, better known as Astronaut Abby. Abby is a Wellesley graduate, aspiring astronaut and the founder of the non-profit The Mars Generation. Abby’s goal is to be the first person to walk on Mars. She is currently pursuing her goal in Jackson by working with the non-profit Wyoming Stargazing.

In this episode, Stephan and Abby talk about space, pursuing your dreams, astronaut training, The Mars Generation and STEAM education.

Unfortunately, this episode was cut a few minutes short due to a file error that fittingly made Abby and Stephan sound like the stereotypical martian.
