Do you think going to space is a pipe dream? 🚀 Well, put on your space suits because, in this episode, we're visiting the NASA center! And we're going to meet Katya Echazarreta, the first 🇲🇽 Mexican-born woman ever to go to space. Katya was selected from a pool of 7,000 applicants to join Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin trip to space. Join us as our host Emily Calandrelli chats with Katya about her childhood dreams and, of course, what kids can do now to become astronauts when they grow up.
