Program Ambassadors Denna Lambert, Chief Diversity, Equity , inclusion and accessibility for NASA’s Early Stage Innovations & Partnerships and space journalist Sawyer Rosenstein will talk about the program, the first flight and the training they received. They will also give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming flight scheduled for November 2022.

The event will be organized and co-produced by John “Das” Galloway, founder of Kerbal Space Academy, and moderated by Summer Ash, astrophysicist, rocket scientist and freelance writer. A pre-show will take place from 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. with the Intrepid Museum Access Team talking about some of the museum’s access initiatives.

American Sign Language interpreters and live captioning will be available during this program.
