This week we talk to a real space MOM. Alice Bowman is the Missions Operations Manager for the New Horizons space craft which launched on 19th January 2006. This is one of the most amazing missions to have taken place and the photos sent back from Pluto in July 2015 and from Arrokoth in January 2019 became instant icons.
