Show Notes
NC State University celebrates alumna Christina Kochs historic Artemis Two mission, the first crewed trip toward the moon in over fifty years. Koch, a three-time graduate with degrees in physics and electrical engineering, makes history as the first woman on such a flight. Students gather for a watch party at Talley Student Union, with the launch broadcast live. Koch, a North Carolina native, is remembered as super energetic and driven by her former advisor, physics professor emeritus Stephen Reynolds. She inspires the next generation of physics kids, despite slim odds, with only ten astronauts picked from over eight thousand applicants last year. Koch shattered records with a three hundred twenty-eight day stint on the International Space Station and the first all-woman spacewalk. Her journey from NC State to NASA highlights how hard work and hometown roots can launch you to the stars.
