Meet the Mentees for Fly With Me in Zero-G ✈️
“The microgravity or the very, very low amount of gravity that we have up in space forces some changes in different processes. It forces changes in us as human beings.”
— Laurel Clark
Space for Humanity is thrilled to introduce the incredible individuals who will be joining our esteemed mentors on the Fly With Me in Zero-G experience! After an inspiring selection process, these mentees have earned their spot to float weightlessly alongside some of the most influential figures in space, science, and advocacy.
🌟 Congratulations to our selected mentees! 🌟
These future space ambassadors will embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey, experiencing the magic of zero gravity alongside mentors Katya Echazarreta, Emily Calandrelli, Amanda Nguyen, Sian Proctor, Trace Dominguez, Shina Nova, and more! On June 1st, departing from Long Beach, California, our mentees will take part in a Zero-G flight and embrace the spirit of Space for Humanity’s mission: “To space, for Earth.”
Flying With Katya Echazarreta
Space for Humanity is excited to share that Katya has not one, but two seats on this extraordinary journey. This means even more opportunity for inspiring connections, mentorship, and weightless wonder alongside one of the most trailblazing figures in space advocacy.
Get ready for twice the impact, twice the inspiration, and twice the unforgettable moments in zero gravity!

* A Note on Emily Calandrelli’s Mentee
Space for Humanity’s Fly With Me in Zero-G campaign was an incredible journey, and Emily Calandrelli’s selection process was especially unique.
Instead of selecting a mentee through the standard application process, Emily and Xploration Outer Space partnered with Space for Humanity to launch an inspiring nationwide search.
This extraordinary opportunity will allow one remarkable teacher to experience zero gravity while carrying the spirit of their students, their classroom, and their passion for education to new heights.
Emily’s mentee announcement will be coming soon, as they work to identify the teacher who best embodies the mission of “To space, for Earth.”
This is more than just a flight—it’s an opportunity to inspire, dream, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for liftoff! ✈️
