Keep Your Head in the Clouds
Women only make up 1/3 of NASA’s workforce and only 10% of astronauts are women! On the Perfectly Unfiltered podcast, planetary scientist (who worked at NASA!) Daria Pidhorodetska told host Nour Hachem-Fawaz about why she shares the work she does to create awareness around aerospace careers: “There is so much room for women to occupy more space.”
And while traditionally, to get to space you had to be part of the elite, there is an ever-increasing push to make space more accessible and we continue to see the rise in popularity of getting ‘regular’ people to space through private companies.
Daria hopes to get to space one day and while she’s following the traditional route, we’d love to help build awareness where we can!
