Guys.....get ready for one of our favorite episodes we've EVER recorded. This week, Kevin, Ryan, and Becca interview REAL LIFE ASTRONAUT, TEDx Talk Alum, and STEM Boss Lady, Joan Higginbotham. Tune in to hear us discuss with the third female African American in space:

-how she got the nickname ~~Space Beyonce~~~~
-her career journey to becoming an astronaut (spoiler, she actually didn't want to be one at first??!!)
-what she was thinking and feeling right before her space shuttle launch launch 
-the first thing she did when she got up to the International Space Station
-why was unable to eat a space meal prepared for her by Rachel Ray
-her mission on the Space Shuttle Discovery
-what she misses most about space
-the biggest lessons she learned
-why she feels like prioritizing the human connection and preaching that we are all one human race is her biggest contribution in her career
