Abby has the rare ability to really listen to what is right for her.  During her 9th Grade year she had a journalism SAE, and she was creating a website.  However, something didn't feel right about that.  She really thought about what she wanted to do, and it occurred to her that she wanted to work with her hands and have a tangible creation to hold when she was done.  That is how she got started creating products, and that is what has opened the doors for her in her SAE.

Buckle up, cuz we're going to space!  From the age of 4, Abigail Harrison knew she wanted to go to space. So much so that, at the age eleven, she sat down and wrote out a plan, not just for how to become an astronaut, but how to be the first astronaut to set foot on Mars. At the age of 13, Abby began to put her plan in action when she started to speak publicly about her dreams of space exploration. By the 8th grade, she had created an award-winning State History Day Project titled Debate and Diplomacy: The History of the ISS. The project spanned both history and science and allowed her the opportunity to conduct interviews with NASA astronauts and industry space experts.  It was during this project that Abby created an online presence and became known as Astronaut Abby. Immediately she was embraced as a leader of her generation, the Mars generation. She found the power of social media allowed her to connect with people around the world who were both space professionals and enthusiasts. At the age of 18, Abby founded The Mars Generation, a nonprofit organization supported by an advisory board of astronauts, engineers, scientists and hundreds of thousands of online supporters. The nonprofit has reached over 25 million people in its first two years of operation with its work to educate and excite kids and adults about space exploration and STEM education.  Abby graduated from college in 2019 with degrees in Biology and Russian, both setting her up for a career as an astronaut. Today Abby is a research scientist at Harvard Medical School and recently finished authoring her first book titled “Dream Big! How To Reach For Your Stars”  where she gives advice and practical tips to help set you on the path towards finding, reaching and achieving your goals.  Learn more about Astronaut Abby and the Mars Generation: https://www.astronautabby.com The Mars Generation - https://www.themarsgeneration.org Dream Big Book - https://www.themarsgeneration.org/dream-big-how-to-reach-for-your-stars/ The Mars Generation's social media channels: Facebook: @themarsgeneration Twitter: @themarsgen Instagram: @themarsgeneration LinkedIn: The Mars Generation   Abby's social media channels:  Facebook: @AstronautAbby Twitter: @AstronautAbby Instagram: @astronautabbyofficial TikTok: @astronautabby

We talk possible missions to mars in addition to general space travel topics with special guest Abby Harrison AKA Astronaut Abby.Abigail Harrison is a girl with a dream. She aspires to be a scientist and dreams of becoming a NASA astronaut. But it doesn’t stop there–she also dreams of becoming the first astronaut to Mars. With a dreams this big, it takes setting goals and working hard each day to make them a reality. She is one step closer, having completed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity–traveling to Russia in May 2013 as a special guest of Italian Astronaut Luca Parmitano to be a part of a legendary Soyuz launch–Soyuz-TMA-09M. After the launch, Abby was charged with a BIG responsibility: she served as Parmitano’s Earth Liaison, bringing space down to Earth by sharing Parmitano’s space mission with her followers and other young people interested in space. Abby has also created a worldwide outreach program called the #FutureOfSpace that is geared toward igniting passion and excitement about space, STEM and dreams with kids around the world. It includes an email pen pal program, classroom visits, web chats, speaking at events and sharing on her social media channels and blog. Early STEM Education Abby is committed to inspiring her generation, The Mars Generation, to dream big, act big and inspire others. Since the age of five, Abby has been dreaming of space and flying. A hands-on experience in the fifth grade cemented her commitment to her dream: Abby was chosen to participate in the Minneapolis Public School GEMS program (Girls in Engineering, Mathematics and Science) at her school. Four years later, she had built robots, conducted science experiments and participated in NASA’s weather balloon program through the University of Minnesota. How AstronautAbby.com Got Started By 8th grade, Abby was a member of her school’s top-ranked Science Bowl team and had created an award-winning State History Day Project titled Debate and Diplomacy: The History of the ISS. The project spanned both history and science and included Abby’s interviews with astronauts as well as industry space experts like Susan Freedman, an NASA engineer for the International Space Station. It was during this project that Abby created an online presence and became Astronaut Abby. She found the power of social media allowed her to connect with people around the world who were both space professionals as well as enthusiasts. In December 2011, Abby was invited as a guest blogger for NASA’s ISS blog, in which she wrote a post titled “Meet a Teen with Space Dreams.” In March 2012, Abby was featured in an article on NASA’s education website titled “Astronaut Abby Hearts NASA.” In October of 2013, Abby was invited to present a TEDx talk in Tampa Bay. Her talk titled “What’s Your Mars?” has been shared around the globe, inspiring thousands of kids and adults to find their Mars and follow their own passion and purpose. Watch the video now to be inspired and please share with your friends! Abby’s goal with her blog at AstronautAbby.com, Twitter account, Facebook Page, Instagram account and Google+ Page is to share her experience of reaching for these amazing dreams and to inspire other teens and young adults to set their own goals and reach for the stars. Abby hopes to encourage adults to continue to invest in STEM education and to re-commit to the research of NASA and human space exploration. She takes the responsibility of being the Ambassador of The Mars Generation and continues to empower her generation to keep the torch burning. Working Hard Everyday to Achieve Her Goals Having graduated high school in June 2015, Abby took all of her courses her senior year at the University of Minnesota as part of an exclusive post-secondary education program through Minneapolis Public Schools. Abby continues to conduct her STEM and Space outreach program as well as volunteer to help run kids science programs within her community. She has been a Model UN member and part of the Youth in Government Program through her four years of high school. She has also participated in the statewide steering committee for these programs. Abby served as a captain of her high school gymnastics team, a varsity member of her high school dive team and a varsity member of her high school track and field team with pole vaulting as her main event. It’s obvious that keeping Abby on the ground is a challenge, as she loves to be flying through the air! Abby is attending Wellesley College, where retired NASA Astronaut Pamela Melroy also attended. She plans to study microbiology and physics with a goal of attaining a doctorate and becoming a scientist. The one piece of advice Abby always refers back to in her following her own dreams and also encouraging others was given to her by her mentor, Astronaut Luca Parmitano: “Follow your heart in your studies and do what you love. NASA is looking for people who are passionate about what they do.” This counsel has helped Abby to set goals and navigate a path to space that not only prepares her for applying to become a NASA astronaut, but also keeps her excited about the process. She continues to correspond with Astronaut Luca Parmitano. He has graciously offered to be Abby’s mentor as she works for a goal that may seem impossible to some. He stated in an interview Abby conducted several years ago “Someday I will be training you to be an astronaut.” It’s a dream that Abby hopes to see become reality.Thank you to Our Patrons:Josh, Society for Advancement of Science https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVXF...MicroBlogganism:https://www.youtube.com/user/MicroBlo...Like the show?
