So, I just read this cool article about how Syracuse’s very own Jeanette Epps is about to blast off into space aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon. Basically, she’s making history as the first Black woman to live on the International Space Station for an extended period!
The article talks about how Jeanette was originally supposed to go to space a few years ago but got pulled from the mission for some mysterious reasons. Now, she’s finally getting her chance, and it’s super exciting to see her represent Syracuse and make her dream come true.
I found it really interesting how SpaceX is revolutionizing space travel with their Crew Dragon spacecraft, making it more accessible and affordable for astronauts like Jeanette to get to space. Plus, it’s awesome to see a local hero like Jeanette breaking barriers and inspiring others to reach for the stars.
Overall, this article is a great reminder of how far we’ve come in space exploration and the importance of diversity in STEM fields. I can’t wait to watch Jeanette’s launch and cheer her on from Earth!
