Perseverance, Advancing Space Missions, and Paving the Way for Future Generations with Ali Guarneros Luna - Part I
In this episode, our host, Mariana Carvalho, sits down with Ali Guarneros Luna, a former aerospace engineer at NASA, whose work has been instrumental in numerous NASA projects, including CubeSat and the Technological and Educational Nanosatellite (TechEdSat). Ali shares her remarkable journey—from growing up in Mexico in the ‘70s and ‘80s, being inspired by a spaceship in an encyclopedia at age seven, and surviving the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, to immigrating to the U.S., becoming her family’s breadwinner, and pursuing her dream of becoming an aerospace engineer while raising four children.
The conversation is one of resilience, the challenges she overcame, and her contributions to space exploration, as well as her insights on mentorship and paving the way for future generations in STEM.
This is the first part of our interview. Stay tuned for the part II.
