J.M. NORTHUP

I’ve always been intrigued by space, aliens, and flight. I dreamed of being apart of NASA, almost went to university for aerospace engineering, and actually did go to college for operations resource manage, specifically related to aviation. I even worked towards my pilot license and had training as an air traffic controller. And none of this comes close to what is out there to experience, research, and do!!

As we celebrate National Astronaut Day, we get to not only reflect on the accomplishments of some amazing pioneers and cheer on current groundbreakers, but we also get to encourage the minds who will shape our adventures in the great unknown tomorrow. IF that isn’t exciting, I don’t know what is!
