BYRNE: NASA understands the importance of representation. Its astronaut corps is now the most diverse it has ever been, but there's still work to be done. For its next lunar program, what it calls Artemis, NASA promises to land the first woman and first person of color on the moon this decade. Again, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

"She invited me and my wife, and we sort of consider ourselves the Jessica team."

A little late to the party, but so grateful to have celebrated my birthday with my Expedition 67 crewmates earlier this month. The cake may look simple, but assembling (and keeping assembled!) all those layers in microgravity was a delicious feat by @astro_kjell.

To the Stars with Astronaut Jessica WatkinsApr 11, 2023
Jessica Watkins
…I first voiced, I think, a desire to be an astronaut when I was around the age of 9 or 10. I went to a school that was named after a female astronaut. And I think that was when I first asked my parents, you know, who she was, and a little bit about her story. And that's when I first realized that you could go to space for a career, that that was an option that could happen. That is really what kind of kicked off my interest and passion for exploring the cosmos. But growing up, I had lots of different interests. I was always interested in reading and writing, as well as math and science. I was interested in sports and always kind of being a part of a team. So it's neat to be in a role that ultimately is at the intersection of a lot of those interests.

We certainly have the privilege and honor of standing on the shoulders of giants. And so for me, particularly women like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison certainly paved the way and kind of enabled a path for myself and some of my colleagues to follow behind. And certainly grateful for the opportunity to, insofar as I'm able to, be that similar kind of role model as the ones that I had the privilege of growing up with, for young girls and particularly children of color growing up now. I’m certainly aware of and grateful for the opportunity that being a part of this crew represents.
