The Overview 02/24
As we honor the legacy and achievements of Black Americans this month, we at S4H are motivated by the words of Dr. Mae Jemison, the first Black woman in space. She said, “People may see astronauts and because the majority are white males, they tend to think it has nothing to do with them. But it does.” That is exactly how we feel as part of the movement of space inclusion, “empowered.” We experience this through our Citizen Astronauts and their journeys of discovery and diversity in space. We experience it even more profoundly when their spaceflight and the LCDI we collaborate with them on, encourage them to celebrate and support the richness of human cultures and perspectives here on Earth.

CAP: An Update From the Citizen Astronaut Program
CAP: A Letter From the Citizen Astronaut Program
From Sara: To Space, for Us.
Tomorrow Sara Sabry becomes our second Citizen Astronaut to go to Space. When she does, she adds to a growing trend of new explorers. But these trailblazers aren’t exploring some dark, unknown border on a map. They explore what it is to be human. What it means to be connected. What it feels like to bring hope to a new generation of explorers whose journeys will permeate all peoples of this place we all call home. She also continues the trend started by our first citizen astronaut, Katya Echazarreta. To write a letter to those that come next. So, to you, the next citizen astronauts. Here’s Sara in her own words.
