We speak to Alyssa Carson the 19 year old set to be the first female astronaut to walk Mars.

At just 18 years old, Alyssa’s list of accomplishments include witnessing 3 Space Shuttle launches, attending Space Camp 7 times, Space Academy 3 times, Robotics Academy once, youngest to graduated Advanced Space Academy, and multiple Sally Ride Camps.

This officially makes Carson certified to do a suborbital research flight and venture into space, all before receiving her driver’s permit.
